Description
FROM A MONUMENTAL PRIVATE COLLECTION OF THE RAREST AND OBSCURE BEAT, PSYCHEDELIC AND FREAKBEAT SINGLES (OTHER SINGLES LISTED). IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR YOU WILL RARELY SEE ANOTHER COLLECTION LIKE THIS.
**THIS IS A FABULOUS AND MEGA RARE ORIGINAL UK PRESSING OF THE FREAKBEAT / PSYCH SINGLE BY JOHNS CHILDREN 'COME AND PLAY WITH ME IN THE GARDEN' / 'SARA, CRAZY CHILD'**. MARC BOLAN IN HIS EARLY YEARS.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE UK ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING AND IS PROBABLY THE HARDEST OF THEIR SINGLES TO SOURCE.
ABOUT THE BAND:
MARC BOLAN WAS ONLY AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF JOHNS CHILDREN FOR AROUND 4 MONTHS IN 1967 DURING WHICH TIME THE BAND RELEASED 'DESDEMONA' AND RECORDED 'A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS SCENE'. THE LATTER WAS NOT RELEASED AFTER BOLAN CLASHED WITH THE PRODUCER OVER ITS PRODUCTION. INSTEAD THE 'B' SIDE OF DESDEMONA 'REMEMBER THOMAS A BECKET' WAS RE-RECORDED WITH NEW LYRICS AND THUS 'COME AND PLAY WITH ME IN THE GARDEN' WAS CONCEIVED. BOLAN WENT ON TO FORM TYRANNOSAURES REX AND THEN T-REX.
THIS ONE RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE ON EBAY AND IS WORTHY OF THE OVER USED TERM 'RARE'!!
****FULL CRITICAL DESCRIPTION****PLAYGRADING THE VINYL:
THE RECORD 'A' SIDE HAS SOME SURFACE SCUFFING BUT NO DEEP MARKS. IT PLAYGRADES IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. IT HAS A COUPLE OF HIGH PEAK MINOR DISTORTION POINTS AND SOME MINOR INTRO AND QUIET PASSAGE STATIC BUT NOTHING THAT PARTICULARLY DETRACTS FROM THE MUSIC.
THE 'B' SIDE HAS SIMILAR SURFACE SCUFFING AND OCCASIONAL MINOR STATIC BUT PROBABLY GRADES HALF A GRADE HIGHER THAN THE 'A' SIDE.
THE LABELS CONDITION:
THE 'A' SIDE LABEL GRADES AT EX WITH THE LETTERS LP WRITTEN IN PENCIL (THE SINGLE IS TOO RARE AND VAULABLE FOR ME TO ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THIS OFF).
THE 'B' SIDE LABEL HAS A COUPLE OF SCUFFS AND GRADES AT VG+ (SEE PICS).
THE PUSH OUT 4 PRONG CENTRE IS INTACT WHICH IS A BONUS AND A RARITY.
THE COMPANY SLEEVE:
THE ORIGINAL BLACK/PURPLE TRACK COMPANY SLEEVE GRADES AT VERY GOOD PLUS WITH A LITTLE CREASING. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED IN A PET AND SMOKE FREE HOME.
EXTRA PROTECTION:
THE SINGLE ALSO COMES IN A PROTECTIVE HEAVYWEIGHT POLY SLEEVE AND HAS BEEN STORED CORRECTLY.
