Description

Ellison was founder of the British psychedelic rock band John's Children between 1966-68, also famous for including a young Marc Bolan who wrote some of the band's material including "Hippy Gumbo" & "Desdemona". This compilation features a varied array of tracks dating from 1968 to 2005 recording sessions. One of the standout tracks included is an orchestrated version of the Beatles' "You Can't Do That", recorded in 1968 shortly after John's Children broke up. Also interesting is the title track, which comes from a session Andy recorded with Simon Napier Bell and Marc Bolan. This track is a missing diamond as the single which was originally planned for release on Napier Bell's record label (SNB) but never came out and thought that only a few acetates survived. Another Bolan/Ellison song "Casbah Candy" also features on this album. Bringing the album bang up to date is the 2005 track "Anyway Goodbye" recorded for a projected studio album.
