Classic

John's Children were a 1960s pop art/mod rock band from Leatherhead, England. They gained notoriety for their outrageous live performances and were even kicked off a tour in Germany for upstaging the headliners. Despite their short-lived career of less than two years, John's Children had a significant impact on punk rock and are considered by some as the precursors of glam rock.
Their single "Desdemona", written by *Bolan*, was banned by the BBC due to its controversial lyric. Additionally, their album "Orgasm" faced a four-year delay in its release in the US because of objections from Daughters of the American Revolution.
Although commercially unsuccessful with only six singles and one album released, John's Children have since been praised for their influence and their singles have become highly sought-after collectables among British 1960s rock enthusiasts. If you enjoy artists such as Fleur De Lys, The Smoke, or The Sorrows, you'll definitely appreciate John's Children's unique sound.

This pop art combo hailing from Leatherhead, England were known for their outrageous live concert performances and were ‘removed’ from a tour with The Who in Germany in 1967 when they ‘out-Who’d The Who’. Adding fuel to an already high-octane fire they issued a single that same year Desdemona, written by Marc Bolan, which was banned by the BBC because of the controversial lyric, "Lift up your skirt and fly." Across the pond their American record label delayed the release of their album, Orgasm for four years from its recording date due to objections from Daughters of the American Revolution (yeah, really). John's Children were out and about being a nuisance for less than two years but in that time, they released six singles and one album, but predictably none troubled the Top 30 pop charts. It wasn’t until decades later that they were acknowledged for the impact they had on the music scene by some of the more ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ types and those failed to chart singles are now worth a considerable number English pounds to serious collectors.
