Can I have the Japanese copy linked above for Christmas please!
It is quite notable that little Marc has been removed from the cover, and after Googling merrily, aparently it was after a row with Simon over the "B" side not being written by himself.
I have also found that Johns Children are still doing the odd gig, and I must say that after playing a Radio Stars record last night, the sound changed little since leaving Track and going on to Chiswick.
For lovers of 60/70s pub rock trivia and record, do not miss BBC4, Friday at 9 pm, about Stiff Records. |

He comes to England about once a year and we were due to have dinner on his last visit but had to cancel through ill health. |

Are you still in touch with Simon? Last I heard he was somewhere like Thailand. I did some mixes for him on a project for Russia (Smash) that sold millions ! |

..Heres the final answer.
Andy Ellison, on vocals, ended up in a band signed to Chiswick called the Radio Stars. They made TOTP in 1978 with "Nervous Wreck", and the big push came later with a cracker of a pop song called " From A Rabbit".
I met him twice as a kid, at his gigs, and had no idea he was from Johns Children.
I have no idea what he is doing now, also.
The "B" side of "Nervous Wreck", is written by Marc Bolan, and is called "Horrible Breath (you scare me to death)".
Anyone at our gigs in Nottingham over the next three days please say hi!, and more quizzie stuff please!
I don`t think you googled JK, as I know the stories, but I do believe Andy is shorter than Marc was, and so it would appear the band may have been put together.
Nobody likes a band of differing hights.
Peter Crouch on bass???Nah..
Good trivia though innit? |
