The Game 45
The Addicted Man b/w Help Me Mummy's Gone
Parlophone Label English Pressing Demo
This Holy Grail, classic Psych Freakbeat record "The Addicted Man" was withdrawn in 1967 because of it's lyrics, and was replaced by "It´s shocking what they call me".
The history about this record came on January 7, 1967 when one of the records under review was a psychedelic rock number about heroin addiction, "The Addicted Man" by a group called The Game. The record was slated by a panel of DJs, but the discussion never made it to air as the subject matter of the song led the BBC to cut the segment, meaning the show underran by seven minutes. Afterwards there was a lot of heated debate about whether the BBC was right to censor the show or not, and amid the controversy the record was withdrawn by EMI, though it has now gone on to become regarded as a freakbeat classic.
Record is in beautiful VG condition, lots of scuffs, and plays very well.
There is a "T" written on the label of "The Addicted Man" side.
This rare gem comes with the original Parlophone company sleeve.
You are now listening to samples of both sides of this rare record.
