THE STORY
This 1967 single captures John's Children during their brief but influential period. The B-side “Sara, Crazy Child” was written by a young Marc Bolan, who would soon form Tyrannosaurus Rex. The band’s provocative image and sound made them a cult favourite in the late 1960s underground scene.
CONTEXT & NOTES
John's Children were known for their wild stage antics and mod/psychedelic sound. This German Polydor release features striking cover art with the band in a garden setting. The Bolan connection is a significant early link between the two acts.
