A glimpse into 1970’s local‑press skepticism — Bolan’s mystic poetry admired, his evolving sound misunderstood.

A shimmering piece of folk-psych mysticism, “By The Light Of A Magical Moon” captures Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took at the final threshold of the Tyrannosaurus Rex era. Dreamy, acoustic, and steeped in Bolan’s mythic lyricism, this single stands as the last release under the full Tyrannosaurus Rex name before the transformation into T. Rex and the birth of glam rock. RELEASE DETAILS Artist: Tyrannosaurus Rex Label: Regal Zonophone Date: January 16, 1970 Catalogue: RZ 302
