Regal Zonophone - EMI - 1968 - Vinyl LP
"My people were fair and had sky in their hair, but now they're content to wear stars on their brows."
Before Marc Bolan became the glam rock superstar behind T-Rex, he was just a hippy boy with a guitar, writing fantastical Tolkien-inspired folk songs populated by fairies and ogres. But thanks to producer Tony Visconti, this boy & his trusty drum-playing friend Steve Peregrine Took soon had a record contract and this, their debut album, actually made it to the top of the British charts in 1967 when it was released.
"Tyrannosaurus Rex rose out of the sad and scattered leaves of an older summer. During the hard, grey, winter, they were tended and strengthened by those who love them. They blossomed with the coming of spring, children rejoiced and the earth sang with them. It will be a long and ecstatic summer." John Peel
