Children Of The Revolution / Jitterbug Love (Pict) [7" Vinyl]

Following the success of Demon Records' highly-collectable 7" picture disc releases of T. Rex's 1973 singles, we now turn to the 1972 singles, again featuring photos from the Keith Morris archive. The first release is the absolute classic "Children Of The Revolution", originally released in September 1972, and these days amongst Marc Bolan's best remembered songs. It peaked in the UK charts at number 2, where it stayed for three weeks (spending ten weeks in the charts in total), while Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" was at number 1, followed by David Cassidy's "How Can I Be Sure" and Lieutenant Pigeon's "Mouldy Old Dough". The song has been covered by the Violent Femmes, The Scorpions, Kesha and U2's Bono for the film "Moulin Rouge". Neither "Children Of The Revolution" or it's B-sides "Jitterbug Love" and "Sunken Rags" appeared on the "Tanx" album, released in March 1973.
