Description


Part of a series of 4 vinyl LPs of home demos, restored and remastered for vinyl from recently acquired materials returned to the estate. Embryonic recordings of songs, some of which would find their way on to the iconic Electric Warrior album...many did not and remain unreleased, including curiously the actual title track. Included here are recordings of Marc and percussionist Mickey Finn putting down work in progress versions of huge smash hits like Get It On (issued as Bang a Gong in the U.S) and Jeepster. Limited to 750 copies world wide. Exclusively and uniquely designed to represent correct period from which the material was recorded. includes inner bag with full liner notes by Andrew J. Gardner of the Bolan Society. Taken directly from Marc’s own tapes (originally stolen from the home of Marc and Gloria and recently repatriated to Gloria and her charity The Light of Love Foundation) and audio restored and mastered by Anders Peterson At Ghost Sound Sweden.
