RC Special Marc Bolan & T-Rex
It was the 1971 UK No.1 single Get It On and its parent album Electric Warrior, also a chart-topper, that truly launched Marc Bolan and T.Rex into the stratosphere and set him on the path to glory. But Bolan’s talents go far deeper than solely being the torchbearer for glam rock in the 70s.
Record Collector Presents… Marc Bolan And T.Rex revisits a career that began in a world of fantasy, folk and experimentation. From his early demos and tenure with John’s Children through his imperial glam rock pomp and on to his final statement with Dandy In The Underworld, Bolan proved himself to be a poet, pioneer and, of course, a rare musical talent.
As well as revisiting all of the studio albums, inside this edition we tell that colourful story with help of some of the major players in the narrative. We meet legendary producer Tony Visconti, who sets the record straight on work with Bolan and the pivotal part he played in Bolan's career; we go behind the scenes with ex-T.Rex band members Bill Legend, Miller Anderson and Paul Fenton to shed some light on touring and recording with Marc; AngelHeaded Hipster director Ethan Silverman recounts his experiences directing the T.Rex documentary; and we speak to Danielz, frontman of award-winning tribute band T.Rexstasy and ardent Bolan collector.
Also in this issue, we examine Bolan’s complex relationship with David Bowie, remember the Ringo Starr-directed concert film Born To Boogie, and revisit the eye-opening solo compilation The Beginning Of Doves.
Plus, there’s all of the essential information for Bolan and T.Rex collectors, including our rare vinyl rundown, investigating the UK and beyond; an in-depth look at the colourful world of Bolan memorabilia; a deep dive into the Dandy In The Underworld, as well as the usual collector profiles and comprehensive selected discography.
All to ensure you all Keep A Little Marc In Your Heart!
