ETERNITY’S CHILDREN
Rare PROMO only pic sleeve & LP version 45
band were at Delta College in Mississippi. At the time, they were called the Phantoms. They moved to Biloxi and became the house band at a club in the basement of the Biloxi Hotel.
They caught a break or two acting as the backing band for visiting performers such as Charlie Rich and B.J. Thomas. When the guys added local folksinger Linda Lawley to their lineup, the fledgling band changed to the more contemporary name: Eternity's Children.
A demo of theirs make it's way to A&M Records, who signed the band and cut one 45 in 1967, but the record went nowhere, and they were quickly dropped. They next got a deal with Capitol's tax-shelter subsidiary Tower.
Teamed up with Curt Boettcher they cut this magnificent single "Mrs. Bluebird" which struggled into the charts in July of 1968, but the song stalled low on the carts, despite an appearance on American Bandstand. Somehow, up in Canada, the 45 did fairly well, hitting #14 on the CHUM charts.
This original US single is flipped with "Little Boy."
The original single was released as an edit of 2:10 but Tower Records felt that they would have more success with the LP version of the song, so it was sent out again with the Lp version. To make sure DJs noted this new version, they over-printed the original sleeve, which might be a promo-only item.
