For many, T. Rex founder Marc Bolan remains forever frozen in time
as the poster boy of glam, the pop-rock genre he effectively
launched with his March 1971 Top of the Pops appearance to promote
'Hot Love', the band's first number one single. To see Bolan only
in this light is to view him through too narrow a focus. In John's
Children he flirted with modernist art-rock. He sang folk songs of
an otherworldly England in Tyrannosaurus Rex and became a teen idol
while straddling the singles and album charts like a rock colossus
and he also experimented with his unique brand of interstellar
soul. Finally, he proclaimed himself 'the Godfather of Punk' and
became its patron, touring with The Damned and giving several major
new wave acts their first television exposure. This book examines
all aspects of Bolan's career, from the genre-defying My People
Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... through the transitional A
Beard of Stars and T. Rex albums, the misunderstood Zinc Alloy and
the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow and the should-have-been comeback
Futuristic Dragon. Along the way, it discusses Unicorn, the
defining document of the Tyrannosaurus Rex years, and the essential
T. Rex trilogy of Electric Warrior, The Slider and Tanx, arguing
why they should be regarded as such.
