This unofficial reproduction single was manufactured during early 2015 using photocopies of the original EMIDISC acetate labels for Marc Bolan's 1965 recordings Song For A Soldier and Reality. The release was created to resemble the original acetates and serves as a reminder for collectors to exercise caution when purchasing purported original acetates.

Released on 11 September 1981, this Cherry Red 7" single presents Marc Bolan’s posthumous track You Scare Me To Death, drawn from 1966 demos later enhanced with newly recorded backing instrumentals. Issued four years after Bolan’s passing, the single formed part of Cherry Red’s album project of the same name, compiling early outtakes and songwriting experiments from Bolan’s pre‑Tyrannosaurus Rex period. The single reached number 51 on the UK chart and early pressings included

"Oh Baby" was released on September 4, 1970 under the name Dib Cochran And The Earwigs, one of several pseudonyms used by Marc Bolan during the transitional period between his Tyrannosaurus Rex years and the emergence of T.

The tracks were recorded at De Lane Lea Studios, Kingsway, London, and subsequently cut at the Radi

In the late autumn of 1966, a young Marc Bolan released his third and final solo single before forming Tyrannosaurus Rex. “Hippy Gumbo” was a quirky, upbeat pop track with a strong beat-group feel and a touch of the whimsical, poetic style that would soon define his work with Tyrannosaurus Rex. Backed with “Misfit,” this Parlophone 7" single marked the end of Bolan’s early solo period and the beginning of his journey into the acoustic folk-rock sound that would lead to glam s

Released on November 19, 1965 by Decca Records, "The Wizard" was Marc Bolan's debut commercial single and one of the earliest releases issued under his adopted stage name.
