 MARC BOLAN, STEVE PEREGRIN TOOK

Before T. Rex assaulted the world with their glam rock party in the early '70s, there was 

the folk duo Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although both bands were fronted by flamboyant 

singer/guitarist/songwriter Marc Bolan, the earlier outfit was the polar opposite of the 

style of music that would later become synonymous with Bolan. 

Tyrannosaurus Rex originally formed in September of 1967 as a duo after Bolan 

split from his previous band, John's Children. Joining Bolan in the band 

was percussionist/bongo player Steve Peregrin Took

SLEEVE VG but (please, see pictures and read above description)

FLY reissued Tyrannosaurus Rex's first two albums, My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair, 

But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brow and Prophets, Seers and Sages, 

The Angels of the Ages, as a double-LP set in 1972. 

It's hard not to be drawn to the actual dynamics 

of My People Were Fair, the uncanny way Tyrannosaurus Rex take the slightest musical instruments, 

pixie phones, glockenspiels and a Chinese gong included, to make them sound like the heaviest rock & roll band 

on the planet. Anyone could play power chords, after all. But who else would play them on acoustic guitar?

The most underrated of Tyrannosaurus Rex's four albums, Prophets, Seers & Sages was recorded 

just six months after their debut and adds little to the landscapes which that set mapped out. 

There is the same reliance on the jarring juxtaposition of rock rhythms in a folky discipline; 

the same abundance of obscure, private mythologies; the same skewed look at the latest studio dynamics, 

fed through the convoluted wringer of the duo's imagination, 

the already classic pop of the opening "Deboraarobed" ...(AllMusic)
