Description
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-Whod 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). Johns 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 wasnt 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 Sir Timothy Trott.
