Description

Regrettably having to sell off some of my prized items as I am unable to work now. I have amassed many collectable items over the years, most I never intended to part with, all genres, many demo's, rare presses etc etc many of which will be listed in the coming days, weeks and months.
This is an Incredibly rare UK press, FACTORY SAMPLE ISSUE of Bolans one of 7" almost impossible to find nowadays. It was part of a very large collection of Demo's, test presses and factory samples from the 60's onward, mainly EMI associated, most of which were unplayed. Dib Cochran & The Earwigs was a pseudonym for a one-off studio band comprising Marc Bolan on guitar, John Cambridge on drums, Tony Visconti on bass and Rick Wakeman on keyboards with vocals by Tony Visconti and Marc Bolan - and as has long been rumoured - David Bowie on sax (although this has been discounted by Tony Visconti). This single came and went completely unnoticed in 1970 and remains one of the most difficult to find of Bolans releases.
