Some songs were worked through at home on his own and some with Steve Peregrine Took who would be the percussionist. Tyrannosaurus Rex released four albums, three with Steve Took and one with Mickey Finn who would later enjoy teen adulation alongside Marc in T.Rex. All the albums and outtakes from those sessions have been issued by Universal. What we have here are home demos and work in progress and live shows all of which are as rare as “hens teeth” as it was considered that some of this material simply did not exist. Well it does and here for the long time Marc Bolan fan is the proof

• This six disc boxed set contains totally unheard material from Marc’s own tapes (recently returned to the family), incredible snippets of work in progress, unused version of songs that differ from the final released track
