The Time is Now - Everybody's Children (1970)





I recall hearing this record on the radio, at the time I was working in Richmond, Surrey, I tried to purchase a copy of this record every time I went into the record shops and asked for the record, it was not in stock and they were waiting delivery, after six weeks I eventually gave up trying to get a copy, on my day off I would go into Kingston and got the same story in the record shops there, it was if they were making the record hard to get, many years later something reminded me of this record so I tried looking on eBay there I found a copy.

I left home in 1974, I could not carry all my records so they were left in my room, my younger sister helped herself to the pick of my record collection, she later sold them to fund her drug habit, if I had this record it would have been among the pilfered records, later my son started collecting 1970's records at the local Boot Sales, it was then I thought I could replace the missing records, it took some time but I managed to replace them all, the last missing record  was the Universal Soldier EP by Donovan when I found a copy I thought what about all the records I had wanted but could not afford at the time of issue, Boot Sales & eBay provided these over the next couple of years, it was when I started buying the obscure records, a number of them would appear on the blog.
