THE STORY

This DVD compiles surviving television performances and interviews of Marc Bolan & T. Rex, showcasing the band’s journey from the early glam explosion through to Bolan’s later years. With a total running time of 176 minutes, it highlights the group’s magnetic TV presence that helped define the 1970s glam rock era.

CONTEXT & NOTES

Released during the ongoing revival of interest in Marc Bolan’s catalogue, T. Rex On T.V. is particularly valuable due to the scarcity of high-quality 1970s UK television archives. It includes many of the band’s most iconic TV moments that propelled them to stardom.
