The July 30, 1968 edition of the Coventry Evening Telegraph reviews Tyrannosaurus Rex’s album My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows under the heading “Judge this for yourself.” Publication: Coventry Evening Telegraph Date: July 30, 1968 Country: United Kingdom The reviewer states they are in two minds about the album. The whining eccentric vocals and surging words are described as intriguing at first but pale over a whole LP. The tunes are said to carry an air of spontaneous monotony with limited accompaniment of flailing guitar and occasional Indian-style drumming. Marc Bolan’s lyrics are noted as sometimes vigorously exciting in imagery but at other times dissipating into effete pseudo-poetry. The piece concludes that it is a record to hear and judge for yourself by a highly original and adventurous duo. CONTEXT AND NOTES The short review presents a mixed but ultimately open-minded response to the debut Tyrannosaurus Rex album, leaving the final judgement to the reader while acknowledging the duo’s originality.

This Disc and Music Echo review from July 1968 praises the debut album by Tyrannosaurus Rex, highlighting Marc Bolan’s songwriting brilliance and Steve Peregrine Took’s inventive percussion. The piece describes Bolan as one of pop’s “nicest guys” and a prolific composer whose work already feels “months out of date” — a testament to his forward‑thinking creativity. Publication: Disc and Music Echo Date: July 13 1968 Country: United Kingdom THE STORY The review covers Tyrannosaurus Rex’s first LP, My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair … But Now They’re Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows, listing its full track selection and noting John Peel’s admiration for the duo. It commends Bolan’s lyrical imagination and Took’s percussion, which ranges from bongos to Chinese gong and pixiephone. The writer calls Bolan “one of the most prolific composers we know,” praising his “totally individual songs of love, beauty, fantasy and nature.” The closing remark — that Bolan already considers the album “months out of date” — suggests his restless artistic drive and hints at the evolution that would soon lead to T. Rex. CONTEXT AND NOTES Released in May 1968, the album introduced Bolan’s mystical folk style and poetic lyricism, establishing Tyrannosaurus Rex as a cult favourite in the underground scene. This review captures the early critical enthusiasm that surrounded Bolan’s unique vision, foreshadowing his later transformation into a glam‑rock icon.

This short review from July 1967 praises John’s Children’s new single Come and Play with Me in the Garden on Track Records. Following the near‑success of Desdemona, the piece describes the band’s latest release as loud, forceful, and perfectly tuned to the flower‑power groove of the era. Publication: Music Paper Date: July 22 1967 Country: United Kingdom The review notes that after Desdemona narrowly missed the charts, John’s Children quickly returned with another energetic and original track. The writer highlights the group’s “urgent sound propelling all the time and attacking nicely,” calling the single a “commercial record right in the flower‑power groove.” The tone is enthusiastic, predicting success based on the strong reaction to their previous release. CONTEXT AND NOTES John’s Children were known for their flamboyant performances and early association with Marc Bolan, who briefly joined the band before launching Tyrannosaurus Rex. This review reflects the optimism surrounding their music during the height of the British psychedelic scene, when Track Records was home to acts like The Who and Jimi Hendrix.

On July 22 1967, Marc Bolan officially formed Tyrannosaurus Rex after leaving John's Children. Initially conceived as a four‑piece electric rock band, the group played its first and only show at the Electric Garden in Covent Garden, London - a performance so chaotic that it prompted an immediate reformation into the acoustic folk duo that would define Bolan's early career. THE STORY Following his departure from John's Children, Marc Bolan assembled a new band under the name Tyrannosaurus Rex, featuring Ben Cartland on guitar, an unnamed bassist, and Steve Porter (later known as Steve Peregrin Took) on drums. Their debut at the Electric Garden was poorly received - described as a "shambles" due to lack of rehearsal and musical cohesion. The electric line‑up disbanded immediately after the show. Within weeks, Bolan and Porter re‑emerged as a duo, with Porter switching to bongos and assorted percussion. Influenced by Bolan's exposure to Ravi Shankar's performance style during his West German tour with John's Children, the pair developed a psychedelic folk sound built around Bolan's acoustic guitar and mythic lyrics. Their new direction quickly found an audience within London's underground scene, supported by BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, whose enthusiastic promotion on his show The Perfumed Garden and in his International Times column helped establish their cult status. The duo's first performance as Tyrannosaurus Rex was on September 23 1967 at Middle Earth (formerly the Electric Garden), supporting Denny Laine's Electric String Band and The Piccadilly Line. Peel, who was DJing the event, praised their "strange and tomorrow songs," marking the beginning of their rise within Britain's psychedelic folk movement. CONTEXT AND NOTES London in mid‑1967 was a hotbed of psychedelia and counterculture, with venues like Middle Earth and UFO Club hosting avant‑garde acts and experimental performances. Tyrannosaurus Rex's acoustic approach stood out amid the electric noise of the era, offering a mystical alternative to mainstream rock. John Peel's support was crucial - he not only championed the band on air but later contributed to their first album by reading Bolan's fairy tale "Frowning Ataour." This relationship helped secure their contract with Regal Zonophone and cemented their status as underground icons.

This substantial ten-page Mojo feature reassesses the life, career and legacy of Marc Bolan twenty years after his death. Combining archive photographs with recollections from family members, friends, managers, musicians and contemporaries, the article paints a detailed portrait of the boy who became the driving force behind T. Rex and one of the defining figures of British glam rock. Publication: Mojo Date: October 1, 1997 Country: United Kingdom This extensive Mojo feature explores Marc Bolan's journey from his North London childhood to international superstardom. Opening with the observation that he remains one of the most captivating figures in British pop history, the article examines how a determined young dreamer transformed himself into the leader of T. Rex and the central figure in the phenomenon later known as Bolanmania. The feature traces Bolan's early life, describing his fascination with fantasy, mythology, dinosaurs, film heroes and popular culture. Family members recall a child with an active imagination who was constantly creating alternative worlds and characters. Long before fame arrived, he was already constructing the identity that would eventually make him a star. Throughout the article, former friends and associates share memories of Bolan's ambition and self-belief. Contributors recall his Mod years, his fascination with style and image, and his determination to escape ordinary life. Many remember a young man convinced that success was inevitable, even when there was little evidence to support such confidence. Among those interviewed are family members, childhood friends and individuals who knew Bolan before fame. Their memories create a picture of someone capable of being charming, driven, insecure, visionary and frustrating in equal measure. Several contributors describe his ability to reinvent himself repeatedly while maintaining an unwavering belief in his destiny. The article also follows Bolan's musical development, from the early Tyrannosaurus Rex years through the chart-dominating success of T. Rex. Particular attention is given to the extraordinary burst of success between 1970 and 1973, when Bolan became one of Britain's biggest pop stars and helped define the glam rock era. Contributors including managers, friends and colleagues offer differing views of his personality. Some recall his generosity and warmth, while others remember the difficulties created by sudden fame and success. Together, the recollections present a complex portrait that avoids both mythmaking and oversimplification. Rare photographs accompany the feature, including childhood images, family photographs, early publicity shots and candid personal pictures. These images chart Bolan's transformation from London teenager to international rock star and help illustrate the various stages of his life and career. CONTEXT AND NOTES Published twenty years after Marc Bolan's death, the feature forms part of Mojo's wider reassessment of major figures in British popular music. Rather than concentrating solely on T. Rex's chart successes, the article explores the person behind the public image through first-hand recollections from those who knew him best. The feature is particularly notable for its breadth of contributors. Family members, childhood friends, managers and contemporaries provide perspectives that collectively build one of the most detailed portraits of Bolan published during the 1990s. By revisiting both the triumphs and disappointments of his career, Mojo presents Bolan not merely as a glam rock icon but as an ambitious, imaginative and occasionally contradictory individual whose influence continued to be felt long after his passing. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS Event: Ten-page retrospective on the life and legacy of Marc Bolan Era: 1997 reassessment of the Bolan legacy Tone: Reflective, biographical and affectionate Photography: Extensive collection of childhood photographs, family pictures, rare archive images and candid photographs from different periods of Bolan's life WHAT THE CLIPPING SHOWS • Ten-page Mojo tribute to Marc Bolan • Memories from family members, friends, managers and contemporaries • Coverage of Bolan's childhood, ambitions and rise to fame • Reassessment of T.

The recordings featured on the album were originally made during 1966 and 1967. The collection consists primarily of acoustic demos recorded for Simon Napier-Bell during the late 1965 and early 1966 period. The performances capture Marc Bolan as a solo songwriter and performer, documenting material that predates his later commercial success. One notable recording, Jasper C. Debussy, originally contained an expletive-laden spoken introduction. For the LP release the introduction was rendered largely indecipherable, while the accompanying single omitted it entirely. The complete unedited version remained unavailable until its appearance on an expanded CD edition issued decades later. STYLE & THEMES The album presents Bolan's early acoustic songwriting style, emphasising folk-inspired arrangements and imaginative lyrical themes. Many of the recordings reveal the foundations of ideas that would later reappear throughout his Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex years. The demos combine whimsical imagery, fantasy themes and poetic storytelling while retaining the intimate sound of home and publisher demonstration recordings. As an archival collection, The Beginning Of Doves serves as an important document of Bolan's earliest creative period. TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES • Jasper C.

This rare Decca advance test recording acetate documents an exceptionally early stage in Marc Bolan's recording career. Produced by Jim Economides and recorded at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, the acetate preserves three songs associated with Bolan's formative recording activities during 1965. Unlike the previously documented single-sided Decca acetates, this example combines three recordings on a single 8-inch double-sided acetate. As a result, it represents one of the most significant surviving artefacts from Bolan's earliest professional recording period. The acetate was never intended as a commercial release and was produced strictly as a studio reference and test recording. The recordings were made at Decca Studios, Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London. Production duties were handled by Jim Economides. The acetate is dated September 14, 1965 and was produced as a Decca Group Advance Test Recording. The supplied labels identify the artist as Marc Bolan and show handwritten information relating to the tracks included on the disc. STYLE & THEMES The recordings belong to Marc Bolan's earliest documented studio period and pre-date both Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex. The material captures Bolan during a period when he was still establishing his songwriting identity and experimenting with the styles that would eventually develop into his later work. Because the acetate combines three songs from the same period, it provides a particularly valuable snapshot of Bolan's creative development during 1965. TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES Side One • The Wizard – Included as the first recording on Side One. • San Francisco Poet – Appears as the second recording on Side One. Side Two • Beyond The Risin' Sun – Featured on the reverse side of the acetate. RELEASE HISTORY The acetate was produced on September 14, 1965 as a Decca advance test recording. No commercial release has been supplied within the available source material. The surviving acetate later appeared at auction, where it achieved a significant collector price due to its rarity and historical importance. CHARTS Not applicable. CHART RUN Not applicable.

These rare 1964 EMIDISC acetates document some of Marc Bolan's earliest known studio recordings, made before he adopted the Marc Bolan stage name permanently. At the time, he was still using his birth name, Mark Feld, while experimenting with a variety of possible professional identities. The acetates are credited to Toby Tyler, one of several names considered by Feld during this formative period. Surviving examples reveal alterations made directly to the labels, providing a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of the future T. Rex frontman's public identity. Three copies are known to exist: two double-sided acetates containing both tracks and one single-sided acetate containing only "The Road I'm On (Gloria)". The recordings were made at Vic Keary's Maximum Sound Studios, 47 Dean Street, Soho, London. The surviving double-sided acetates contain "The Road I'm On (Gloria)" and a rendition of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind". A separate single-sided acetate contains only "The Road I'm On (Gloria)". These recordings date from 1964 and represent some of the earliest surviving examples of Feld's professional studio work. STYLE & THEMES "The Road I'm On (Gloria)" reflects the folk-pop influences Feld was exploring during his early career. "Blowin' In The Wind" demonstrates the strong influence that contemporary folk music, particularly Bob Dylan, had on his musical development during the mid-1960s. Together, the acetates capture a young performer experimenting with both repertoire and identity before establishing the artistic direction that would eventually lead to Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex. TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES • The Road I'm On (Gloria) — Original composition featured on both the double-sided and single-sided acetates. • Blowin' In The Wind — Interpretation of the Bob Dylan composition included on the double-sided acetates. RELEASE HISTORY These recordings were never commercially released as contemporary singles. Instead, they survive as EMIDISC acetates cut during 1964 for evaluation and demonstration purposes. Two known copies exist as double-sided acetates, while a third surviving example contains only "The Road I'm On (Gloria)". CHARTS & CERTIFICATIONS No chart information available. CERTIFICATIONS None. AWARDS None. PERSONNEL Mark Feld (later Marc Bolan) — vocals, performer Vic Keary — recording engineer/studio proprietor PRODUCTION Recorded at: Vic Keary's Maximum Sound Studios, 47 Dean Street, Soho, London Format: EMIDISC Acetate Date: 1964 NOTES • The acetates were originally typed with the name Mark Feld before being altered by hand. • On surviving copies, the typed name was crossed out and replaced with Toby Tyler. • The name Riggs also appears struck through on the labels, indicating another possible stage name considered during the same period. • Riggs was reportedly the first name of actor Riggs O'Hara, with whom Feld shared accommodation for a time. • Another flatmate during this period was actor James Bolam. • One theory suggests that the surname "Bolan" may have been influenced by the name Bolam, although this has never been conclusively confirmed. • Another long-standing theory proposes that "Bolan" was derived from combining elements of the name Bob Dylan. • These label alterations reveal a period when Feld was still deciding upon a permanent professional identity. • Three acetates are currently known: two double-sided examples and one single-sided pressing. • The single-sided acetate contains only "The Road I'm On (Gloria)". • The double-sided acetates contain both "The Road I'm On (Gloria)" and "Blowin' In The Wind". • The surviving labels provide valuable documentary evidence of Feld's earliest recording activities before the formation of Tyrannosaurus Rex. • The images supplied clearly show handwritten alterations, with "Toby Tyler" written over crossed-out original text.

These rare Decca advance test recording acetates document an important phase in Mark Feld's early recording career before the adoption of the Marc Bolan name. Produced by Jim Economides and recorded at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, the recordings preserve some of the earliest known professionally recorded performances associated with the future T. Rex leader. Three songs are associated with these September 1965 acetate sessions: "The Wizard", "Beyond The Risin' Sun" and "That's The Bag I'm In". Surviving examples exist as single-sided Decca acetates and were created as advance test recordings rather than commercial releases. The recordings capture Feld at the beginning of his professional career and provide a valuable insight into his development as both a performer and songwriter. BACKGROUND RECORDING The recordings were made at Decca Studios, Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London. Production duties were handled by Jim Economides. The surviving acetates are dated September 14, 1965. "The Wizard" carries an original publication date of October 9, 1965. One unusual feature of the surviving "The Wizard" acetate is the presence of two editions of the song on the A-side, with one version mastered slightly louder than the other. The label for "Beyond The Risin' Sun" was handwritten by Mark Bolan as "Beyond The Sun". STYLE & THEMES The recordings reflect the mid-1960s British pop environment in which Mark Feld was developing as a performer. The material captures a formative stage in his career and predates the psychedelic folk style of Tyrannosaurus Rex and the glam rock sound that would later make Marc Bolan internationally famous. These recordings remain important because they document the earliest stages of Feld's professional recording career. TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES Side One • The Wizard – Surviving acetate contains two recorded versions of the song, one mastered slightly louder than the other. • Beyond The Risin' Sun – The title appears on the surviving acetate label as "Beyond The Sun". • That's The Bag I'm In – Known to originate from the same acetate session, although no image of the surviving acetate has been supplied. RELEASE HISTORY The recordings were cut as Decca advance test recording acetates on September 14, 1965. No commercial release is known from the supplied material. "The Wizard" subsequently received an original publication date of October 9, 1965. The acetates later became highly sought-after collector pieces and have achieved notable auction prices.
