Issued during the final phase of John's Children's recording career, "Come And Play With Me In The Garden" and "Sarah Crazy Child" represent recordings from the group's late-1967 sessions produced by Simon Napier-Bell.

Several distinct preview and test-pressing variations are known, each showing different combinat

Cut on July 7, 1967, this rare single-sided EMIDISC acetate preserves an early recording of "Midsummer Night's Scene" by John's Children during the group's final and most creative period.

Recorded during the early months of 1967, the acetate was produced to promote Amplex Tablets, making it one of the rare surviving examples of Bolan's involvement in advertising-related recordings before achieving fame with Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex. The recording survives as a single-sided Audiodisc acetate and provides
