Tyrannosaurus Rex

Before Marc Bolan and T Rex went glam, there was My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair…  This 1968 album marked the debut of Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took as the fantastical underground-folk duo Tyrannosaurus Rex, This new 2-CD Deluxe Edition contains a 2014 remaster by original producer Tony Visconti and Sean Magee plus a host of bonus material. It includes both the stereo and mono versions of the album plus 12 tracks recorded for John Peel’s Top Gear show in 1967 and 1968, all previously unreleased.  Four songs recorded with producer Joe Boyd are also included, two of which are previously unreleaed. Rounding out this impressive package are seven Tony Visconti home demos (five previously unreleased) and two Marc Bolan interviews, also never-before-released.The booklet features a new essay by Mark Paytress.
