Great single, the white clothes are very proto-droog!!!!!!

great to see this, i've got a couple of vinyl albums incliuding the Orgasm lp. Wasn't Geoff in the band when this was filmed? Sad about Chris.

The drummer Chris Townson was the best Keith Moon drummer I've ever seen next to Keith Moon. Totally underrated. He never got his due. I saw him in concert while vacationing in the UK with the reformed Johns Children and he was awesome visually and soundwise.

Chris Townson was in Jook too, wasn't he?

Is Bolan's face in this vid at all?
My Dad, Chris Townson, is the lovely young thing on the drums.. sadly he passed away on February 10th this year. I can safely say he and Marc are creating musical magic wherever they are... x

This is strange film clip, that Chris, John and myself (Andy Ellison) filmed for our first single, at the then famous, basement, 'Establishment Club' (Peter Cooks, satirical venue in Greek St Soho), 1967. The clip is made up from bits of film left on the cutting room floor. A technician must have kept them. And Somehow they have made it to utube! No Idea what happened to the proper film. SMASHED was a mod term for drunk and BLOCKED was a mod term for being pilled up (high on amphetamines).
