BEFORE BECOMING A CULT SINGER/SONGWRITER IN THE 90S, SCOTTISH MUSICIAN JACKIE LEVEN DEBUTED IN THE EARLY 70S WITH “CONTROL”, ISSUED UNDER THE JOHN ST. FIELD PSEUDONYM DUE TO “PROBLEMS WITH THE FORCES OF LAW AND ORDER”. RECORDED IN LONDON AND HELPED BY MUSICIANS FROM MAN AND OTHER FRIENDS (PHIL RYAN, JULIET LAWSON, JESSE BALLARD, JOE KUCERA…), THE ALBUM FEATURED A COLLECTION OF WONDERFUL SONGS WRITTEN BY JACKIE AFTER HIS EXPERIENCES WANDERING AWAY AND TAKING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF LSD.
