THIS IS THE VERY RARE STOCK ISSUE, DEMOS WERE SENT OUT BEFORE THE RECORD WAS WITHDRAWN AND ARE THEREFORE MORE COMMON
SIMPLY 'THE HOLY GRAIL' FOR 60's PSYCH/FREAKBEAT COLLECTORS!!!!
Probably the most controversial moment in the programme Juke Box Jury's history came on 7 January 1967 when one of the records under review was a psychedelic rock number about heroin addiction, "The Addicted Man" by a group called The Game. The record was slated by a panel of DJs, but the discussion never made it to air as the subject matter of the song led the BBC to cut the segment, meaning the show underran by seven minutes. Afterwards there was a lot of heated debate about whether the BBC was right to censor the show or not, and amid the controversy the record was withdrawn by EMI, though it has gone on to become regarded as something of a freakbeat classic and is impossibly rare as very few stock copies are known to have survived. Demo's are more common.
