"Catblack the wizard's back
Daubed in doom in his tongue tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek"
Tyrannosaurus Rex - Catblack (The Wizard’s Hat) (1969)

Today 5th February 1972
T Rex are No1 in both the UK singles & album charts with the single "Telegram Sam " and the album charts with "Electric Warrior "
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
I have no idea why I've avoided this album for so long. Maybe it was because Bang a Gong (Get it On) was so ubiquitous, and it seemed like it was just offering more of the same.
But, well, no. Yes, it's boogie-glam, with semi-nonsense lyrics, but it's also...kinda...great?
And if you're going to make up for lost time, the Rhino High Fidelity version is great.
V době, kdy byly hranice zadrátované a desky kolovaly po známostech, hrály hlavní roli magnetofonové pásky. Electric Warrior od T. Rex patřil k albům, bez nichž se u nás neobešla žádná párty. Ne kvůli hitům, ale kvůli rytmu, který držel přítomnost pohromadě.
Marc Bolan — viditelný, slyšitelný, těžko přehlédnutelný. 🎸

"Get It On" is a song by English #rock band #TRex, featured on their 1971 album #ElectricWarrior. Written by frontman #MarcBolan, "Get It On" was the second chart-topper for T. Rex on the #UKSinglesChart. In the United States, it was retitled "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" to avoid confusion with a song of the same name by the group #Chase.

Electric Light Orchestra - 'On The Third Day' (1973) (2006 remaster)
This marvellous #ElectricLightOrchestra third album is even more proggy, rough sounding and brilliant and is still my fav #ELO. #MarcBolan plays on a tune and 'Showdown' is the first perfect hit sngle. #ELOthon
"T•Rex" Released today 18th December 1970
18th December 1971 T Rex are No1 in the UK album charts

“Dandy in the Underworld” finds Marc Bolan looking back at the wild glam years with a darker, wiser eye, recasting himself as a fallen golden boy trying to claw his way back to the light. Released in 1977 on what would be T. Rex’s final studio album. #MarcBolan #TRex #DandyInTheUnderworld #GlamRock #SeventiesRock
T. Rex, T. Rex, 1970 on Reprise
Debut album as “T. Rex” for Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn, having previously released as Tyrannosaurus Rex, out on Reprise in 1970. Tony Visconti produced and reportedly added bass and recorder to some tracks.
The electric guitar Bolan holds on the gatefold cover signals the shift into a more rock sound from the folkier early records but also still a fair amount of strings and acoustic stuff here.
My copy is the 2024 VMP Reissue on green (“Jewel of Frost”) 180g vinyl.

Go back to 1960, Eddie Cochran was touring the UK with Gene Vincent, Eddie died when a taxi he and Gene were in had a road traffic accident. The PC who attended the scene impounded items including Gretch 6120 guitar – that police constable was Dave Harman, who began to learn to play guitar on that impounded guitar in the station.
Meanwhile in America, a young Gloria Jones was in a gospel group, a few years later would have a hit and work with major acts touring at the time and write/co-write some popular songs with success
Dave Harman (as Dave Dee) would go on to found the 60’s pop group Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich, and at one of their gigs, a young fan named Marc Feld would help him with his guitar to his car
Gloria Jones’ Tainted Love began to be played heavily in the UK at Northern Soul clubs where she was known as the “Queen of Northern Soul” – she came here to the UK in the 60s for a part in the musical Hair
Marc Feld would go on to found a pop group Tyrannosaurus Rex, by then he was known by the stage name Marc Bolan, the band would shorten the name to T Rex
Gloria, now in the UK, met Marc Bolan and soon after became a backing singer for Marc’s pop group T Rex, and they became an item, Marc Bolan and Gloria Jones had a son
Gloria unfortunately was driving their Mini when they crashed into a tree in Barnes, which resulted in injuries for Gloria and Marc’s accidental death

Music from the 1970s that remans timeless, no.36
T Rex. Get it On
Marc Bolan's boogie classic is a mash up of the blues, glam rock & a classic rock groove. Its a simple rumbling rhythm arrangement backing Bolan's arch vocals & includes some great burbling sax in the background. This is from the first LP I ever bought (I still have my original copy), Electric Warrior, which is full of great songs & is worth checking out (if you've never heard it).

I've sat with the "new" T. Rex track for 24 hours. OK it's clearly a discarded demo but showed promise. In the right producer's hands it could've been a good un. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSdYwbYEDYM&t=5
