T REX : Electric Warrior 1971




Marc Bolan . Born as Marc Feld , 30 Sep' 47 , London . He began his performing career under the improbable moniker of Toby Tyler , before ditching it and singing to " Decca " . After 3 floor singles , he enjoyed a brief stint with " Desdemona " before teaming up in 1968 with bongo player Steve Took to form " Tyrannosaurus Rex " . Their debut , mid-68 , albumn was " My People were fair and had sky in their hair...But now they' re content to wear stars on thy brows " .
Then they became T. REX , and Took was replaced by Mickey Finn and gradually the adopted an electic sound .
Electric Warrior was released in Sept. 1971
Like early fan John Peel , Bolan embraced the subsequent Punk takeover and had a new deal with " R.C.A " before he met his untimely death on 16th September 1977 .
In yet another bizzare Rock'n'Roll Death , his girlfriend crashed their car into a tree near Barnes Common , which soon bacame a shrine .
