John's Children were a British 1960s band noted for a short, influential period that included Marc Bolan. They are associated with Swinging London psychedelia and the single "Desdemona".

Marc Bolan was briefly a member and principal songwriter during the band's most celebrated period. The single "Desdemona" was banned by the BBC. Manager Simon Napier-Bell placed Bolan in the group. The band played events such as the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream and opened for the Who in Germany. The compilation "Jagged Time Lapse" collects much of the Bolan-era material.

A positive appraisal of John's Children focused on the productive Marc Bolan period. Highlights include the single "Desdemona" (BBC-banned), several standout Bolan compositions and the anthology Jagged Time Lapse. The review recommends the Bolan-era tracks as essential for fans of Swinging London psychedelia.

For:Fans and collectors of 1960s British psychedelia, Marc Bolan enthusiasts, Swinging London music fans.
