Bolan, Marc
Pictures Of Purple People
Another excellent release of Marc Bolan's archival recordings. This LP is a compilation of tracks from '60s tapes that got stolen from Marc's home many years ago. These were retrieved only recently. On offer are rare acoustic demos, dating back to 1965. Many of these tracks already lean towards the sound of the Tyrannosaurus Rex material that would be recorded and produced by Tony Visconti a year or so later. In other words, this is an essential addition to any Bolan fan's collection. SIDE 1: 01. The Road I'm On (Gloria) 02. Blowing In The Wind (Take 6) 03. Reality 04. A Soldier's Song 05.
