The 8 August 1975 edition of the Daily Record features a large photograph of Marc Bolan under the headline “WHO’S A PRETTY BOY, THEN!” Publication: Daily Record Date: August 8, 1975 Country: United Kingdom The piece describes Marc Bolan as “the lovely, lively lad who likes to apply rouge to his cheeks” and notes that he has just given out a message to those who thought he and T. Rex were not quite as big as they were. It states that his new single “New York City,” written by himself, is not only selling in New York City but in every city in the world. The song is called Bolan and T. Rex at their best, inspired by a walk through a park in New York where Marc saw a woman with a frog. “New York City” is sung by Marc without a frog in his throat and is certain for the top. T. Rex are set for a British tour in the autumn, and later in the year Marc will make a film with David Niven called “The Obsession.” CONTEXT AND NOTES The short feature promotes the new single and upcoming activities while playfully highlighting Bolan’s glamorous image.

Publication: Great Yarmouth Mercury (The Yarmouth Mercury, Gorleston Herald and North Norfolk Advertiser) Date: Friday, August 8, 1975 Article Context & Main Highlights “Another ‘White swan’ needed by Marc?” Concert review of Marc Bolan and T. Rex’s recent appearance at Tiffany’s in Great Yarmouth. Key Content The reviewer notes a significant drop in audience numbers compared to two years earlier when T. Rex would have sold out the venue. Bolan, who had spent time in America with limited new British releases, performed to a smaller but loyal crowd of fans. Notable Details The new T. Rex line-up (two keyboards, bass, drums, and Bolan) delivered a heavier, less repetitive sound. They played many old hits which went down well, but notably omitted “Ride a White Swan” despite requests. The latest single “New York City” was included. The reviewer suggests Bolan needs a stronger hit to regain his previous level of success.
