'''''Orgasm''''' is [[John's Children]]'s sole album, projected for release on [[March 18]] [[1967]], and eventually during September 1970. It was recorded before [[Marc Bolan]] joined the band. Recorded at Advison Studios in [[London, England]] and determined to be wanting as a studio album, it was transformed into a "live" album by producer [[Simon Napier-Bell]] by dubbing audience screams dubbed from [[The Beatles]]' movie, ''[[A Hard Day's Night (film)|A Hard Day's Night]]''.
According the liner notes by Chris Donovan in a 1982 [[Cherry Red Records]] reissue of the album, its release in the United States was stopped by [[Daughters of the American Revolution]], who objected to the title.
In Australia it was released as eponymous album.
