John's Children - A Strange Affair: The Recordings 1965-1970

Out Dec. 3, 2013

John's Children were the quintessential cult 60s Mod/Psych band, controversial, sharply dressed and subsequently the stuff of legend. The band were fronted by Andy Ellison (later with Jet and Radio Stars) and boasted Marc Bolan within their ranks during their short life. A Strange Affair" for the first time " boasts the entire Johns Children output between 1966 and 1970. The package includes: Two singles for EMIs Columbia label: The Love I Thought I'd Found and Just What You Want " Just What You Get. Four singles for The Whos label Track Records: Desdemona, the legendarily withdrawn Midsummer Night's Scene, Come And Play With Me In The Garden and Go-Go Girl. Their mock-live album Orgasm! which was belatedly issued on US label White Whale in 1970. Andy Ellisons subsequent solo singles It's Been A Long Time (Track), Fool From Upper Eden (CBS) and You Can't Do That (SNB). Three tracks by pre-Johns Children band The Silence. A raft of rare and previously unissued alternative versions and mixes.
