Strange Affair: Recordings 1965-1970

2013 two CD collection. 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 boasts their entire output between 1966 and 1970. Includes: two singles for EMI's Columbia label, four singles for the Who's label Track Records, their mock-live album Orgasm!, Andy Ellison's subsequent solo singles, and three tracks by pre-John's Children band the Silence as well as rare and previously unissued alternative versions and mixes. This set has been compiled with help from Andy Ellison. Their manager Simon Napier-Bell contributed to the detailed sleeve-notes, which are based around excerpts from Ellison's yet-to-be-published autobiography.
