Only John Tring

ONLY JOHN TRING

The first single by the Klubs was a demo made in March 1967 for Chart Records called “Livin’ Today” that oddly featured the horn section from the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. They appeared the following month on a television show called First Timers with a performance of another original song called “Only John Tring”; an acoustical treatment of the song that was recorded in Paddy Breen’s bedroom survives and appears on the compilation LP (Midnight Love Cycle) and CD (Midnight Love Cycle) shown earlier, Scratchy and muddy though it might be, this recording proves beyond doubt that the Klubs were wild men from the beginning.
