Tyrannosaurus Rex - A Star Of Beards - CD 120,-

The music and unique sound of Tyrannosaurus Rex have forever been overshadowed byMarc Bolan's achievements with T.Rex. In fact, as aMarc Bolan fan, the only real criticism you could really have about T.Rex, was that the band's massive musical and cultural appeal tended to demean the uniqueness and originality of whatMarc Bolan had achieved as `Tyrannosaurus Rex'-There was something very cosy and warm about Tyrannosaurus Rex. A gentle yet powerful vibration that emanates deep from every song. I guess that's why Tony Visconti, when pressed in recent years, as to what his favourite albums to work on had been-he did not hesitate to say, `the early Tyrannosaurus Rex ones'.
Compiled by Pat Thomas. Tracks 1, 2 & 6: "Child Star," "Sleepy Maurice," and "Highways" were all recorded the morning after their first ever session on Peel's Radio One `Top Gear' show in November 1967 in `Sounds Techniques Studio' in Chelsea, two of which remained unreleased duringMarc Bolan's lifetime.
Track 3: "Deep Summer" was recorded during the initial sessions for the `Beard Of Stars' album, in December 1969. One of the three instrumental tracks recorded duringMarc Bolan's new found enthusiasm for electric guitar
Tracks 4 & 7: "Pilgrims Tale" & "Demon Queen" are unreleased `Unicorn' outtakes
Track 5: "One Inch Rock" was recorded at a session at `Trident' in July 1968.
Side B: Track 1: "Rings of Fortune," an early song, originally played in acetate format on John Peel's Perfumed Garden show in Aug 1967.
Tracks 2, 3 & 4: "Wind Quartets," "Mustang Ford" and "Conesuela" were recorded in 1969 at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall (Jan 13) and Lyceum Ballroom (April 11). Although lacking in sound quality, these concert performances give fascinating insight into how the duo sounded with a totally live environment. Of the "Queen Elizabeth Hall performance Chris Welch of Melody Maker said, "MarcMarc Bolan sat on the floor in a black vest and sang with fervour strumming a competent, if not exactly advanced guitar...Steve Peregrine Took juggled with a rare selection of African talking drums, pixie phones and bongos."
Tracks 5 & 6: "For the Lion and the Unicorn / Hot Rod Mama," and "Misty Coast of Albany," were recorded during the band's American tour during the summer of 1969, the final Tyrannosaurus Rex tour to feature Steve Took. These tracks are taken from an August 16th gig played at the Café Au Go Go in NYC.
Tracks 14 & 15: "Oh Baby" and "Universal Love" were recorded during a rare session in March 1970 at CTS Studios, Wembley, Middlesex. The session, recorded under the guise of `Dib Cochran & the Earwigs,' yielded the single `Oh Baby / Universal Love.'
Track 16: The Wizard USA Promo with "Dwarfish Trumpet Blues" Story. Track 17: "June Child," recorded in London in late 1967, is a strange spoken word featuring June Child reciting Biblical passages and Marc messing around in the background. This is the full 15 minute reel.
