Radio StarsJohns Children with Marc

-Radio Stars "Horrible Breath" 2:30

John's Children's former bandmate Andy Ellison band "Radio Stars" (at the time new) were featured performers on an episode of the "Marc" T.V. show. They performed the song "No Russians in Russia" here we have their cover of one of Marc's earlist songs "Horrible Breath" (also known as "You Scare me to Death"). The song was written by Marc and was used as a jingle/advert for a breath mint (Amplex Tablets)

Here is a bit of history on the song provided by Mikko.
The song was originally written by Marc as "You Scare Me To Death" in about 1966/'67 or thereabouts.

Side Note from editor;-)From the "mountain of Bolan info" known as Rabbit (Mr.Rab) the date has been narrowed down to "Spring 1967" -thanks George-

I know John's Children had this song in their live set when Marc was with them in '67... That's when the other guys learnt it, and Andy Ellison & Chris Townson's next band, Jet, also did this song and recorded a demo version of it but never released it until the Jet CD reissue "Nothing To Do With Us".. Radio Stars re-recorded it again and released it as a B-side on one of their singles
There is a growing number of people just discovering Marc's first "proper" band "John's Children" if you're interested in them a good place to start is Mikko's fabulous: (pic of J.C. thanks to his site) "John's Children Web Page"
