"Marc Bolan was only a member of John's Children for a few short months, but the experience would have an indelible impact on the future trajectory of his music. . . . The group's first single for Track would be a Bolan composition, 'Desdemona'. . . . The next single, 'Midsummer Night's Scene', was scheduled for release in July but was cancelled at the last minute. . . . Bolan departed [...] but John's Children recorded one more of his songs, 'Mustang Ford', which they repurposed as 'Go-Go Girl' . . ." --Mike Stax, Ugly Things

180-gram vinyl. The sole album from unhinged UK psychedelic mod rock outfit John's Children, recorded in 1966, right before Marc Bolan joined the band. Produced by The Yardbirds' manager Simon Napier-Bell, who referred to them as "positively the worst group I'd ever seen," John's Children's debut LP was shelved for three years due to its then-unthinkable title, Orgasm, and released only in 1970, on the US White Whale label. Acclaimed by many as precursors of glam rock for both their theatrics and music, John's Children quickly disbanded in 1968, leaving behind a half-dozen singles ranking among the most collectible British '60s rock artifacts ever.

"Featuring a pre-T-Rex Marc Bolan, John's Children were one of the more notorious bands on the 1966-68 London mod/psych scene. Their first single 'Smashed Blocked,' with its opening crescendo of swirling organ and reverb-drenched vocals, was one of the U.K.'s first overtly psychedelic records. This collection contains many Bolan compositions, 4 BBC tracks, and alternative versions of their well-known tunes."
