We know that the original version of this BJH classic, Child of Universe, even though it was not the first to be released and it was initially rejected as unsuitable for Barclay James Harvest (!).
So John Lees recorded this own song with the orchestrated version by Mike Sammes Singers with providing the choral effects.
When the rest of the band heard the finished recording, they were so impressed that it was decided to add the song to the next BJH album, Everyone Is Everybody Else, by which time the release of John's album had been indefinitely delayed.
When A Major Fancy finally appeared in 1977, "Child Of The Universe" was issued as a single to promote it. Now it is an ever green.
And other fine Strawbs - New World with old exclusive films. All album Grave New World, 1972, has thema head line by humanity and peace.
