TYRANNOSAURUS REX

A BEARD OF STARS

I NOW HAVE A FEW LISTINGS UP, SO TIME FOR SOME ROCK CLASSICS.

IF I IMPRESS YOU WITH MY VINYLS, I WILL BE LISTING SOME RARE ALBUMS WITH A "BUY IT NOW", WITH OTHER OPTIONS, AND THESE AUCTIONS WILL BE FOR 7 DAYS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU MORE WHEN I GET SOME VINYL SALES UNDER MY BELT, THANK YOU AND I HOPE I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, ON POSTAGE AND SHIPPING TO THE UK AND WORLD WIDE AT THE END OF THE LISTING, SO PLEASE READ, THANK YOU.

FIRSTLY A SHORT INTRODUCTION FOR THIS MARC BOLAN EPIC, WHICH I WOULD IMAGINE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT.

UNDER THE NAME OF TYRANNOSAURUS REX, MARC BOLAN RELEASED FOUR ALBUMS, AND THEN IN 1970 SHORTENED THE BANDS NAME TO JUST, T.REX, AND RELEASED THE SELF TITLED, "T.REX" ALBUM IN DECEMBER 1970.

HIS FIRST THREE ALBUMS WERE MORE OF A FOLK ROCK SOUND, AND AFTER HIS THIRD ALBUM, "UNICORN", RECORDED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1968, AND FEBRUARY 1969, MARC DECIDED IN MARCH 1969 TO BUY AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, WHICH WAS USED ON HIS FOURH ALBUM, "A BEARD OF STARS", WHICH WAS RECORDED BETWEEN APRIL AND NOVEMBER 1969, AND RELEASED IN MARCH 1970.

SO THE ALBUM LISTED BELOW, IS THAT FOURTH ALBUM, "A BEARD OF STARS", WITH MARC ON ELECTRIC GUITAR, SO STILL WITH BITS OF PSYCHEDELIC FOLK, BUT WITH MORE ELECTRIC GUITAR ROCK, SO HIS MUSIC WAS ON THE CROSS OVER FROM "TYRANNOSARUS REX" PSYCHEDLIC FOLK TO THE MORE ELECTRIC ROCK OF, "T. REX".

IF YOU ARE A MARC BOLAN FAN, THEN THIS REALLY IS A VERY UNIQUE ALBUM, WHEN THE OLD "TYRANNOSARUS REX", MEETS THE NEW ELECTRIC, "T . REX", SO A VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ALBUM FOR SURE.

THIS ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESS, AND IS PRESSED ON THE RED AND SILVER REGAL ZONOPHONE FIRST PRESS LABEL.

ON THE LABELS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS SLRZ 1013, AND IN THE RUN OFFS ON THE VINYL IT HAS, YCARX 65-1U / YCARX 65-3U.

PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPER,  1 A  /  1 M.

THE COVER IS AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS LAMINATED ON BOTH SIDES, WITH, 'THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY LTD' IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK. THE COVER HAS SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH ONLY A RUB ON THREE CORNERS. THE LAMINATE IS VERY NICE, BUT DOES HAVE SOME DIFFERENT SIZE LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE OUTER EDGES, AND A  ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY BUBBLES OF LAMINATE CLIFT ON THE SPINE SIDE EDGE. THE LAMINATE CREASE LINES ARE HIGHLIGHTED MORE WHEN ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY, BUT WHEN THE LIGHT DOES NOT CATCH THEM THE COVER LOOKS VERY NICE.

THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFUL, WITH LOVLY AUDIO WITH NO NASTY ISSUES.

ON SIDE 1 JUST FOUR VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1..

ON SIDE 2 BEAUTIFUL WITH NOTHING ON THE AUDIO.

THE VINYL HAS NO NASTY MARKS, AND LOOKS LOVELY, JUST A FEW VERY FAINT HARMLESS LINES FROM WHERE THE VINYL HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE INNER SLEEVE, SEEN WHEN HELD UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. 

THE LABELS ARE NICE CONDITION, WITH NO ISSUES.

THE INNER HAS NO SPLITS, OR WRITING AND ONCE AGAIN, NO ISSUES, BUT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ONE, WHICH SORRY I CAN NOT FIND ANYWHERE, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A INNER WITH A POLY LINER.
