This is one of my fave songs, its reminds me of Autumn days when you start lighting the fire & wait for your love to come home! I'm surprised there aren't more views of this song.
A "lost" Rex classic, imho. Ta HEAPS 4 sharing this Fee, as long ago I lost the rare compilation LP I owned that had this great track on it when half my vinyl collection was stolen - bah. So, am happy now! :-D
Beautiful song.........
My favourite Bolan single.
Happy birthday Marc.
Happy birthday Marc.
Then I thought this was an odd song, but I liked it. Nice to hear it again!
Ride A White Swan - single. That was turning point of Tyr. Rex. King of the rumbling spires maybe the best Tyrannosaurus Rex - single after Debora and and and and......
Oh such a nice oldie!
I recall Marc getting a rough reception from disgruntled hippies at the Wheeley festival in 1971- they thought he'd "sold out". He did a 90 minute acoustic set, got the crowd eating out of his hand and then did a fabulous rock set. Miss you Marc & Steve.

Fabulous pictures - and what a tune! As much as I'm a fan of T. Rex, I can understand why some people felt that Marc left a lot of his fans behind when he became a glam rock star. The four Tyrannosaurus Rex albums were truly in a world of their own - never to be repeated.
The best Tyrannosaurus Rex tune, hands down. So massive!
Probably the origin of glam AND art rock...
Nice one...
