Description
Compiling the 2 vinyl releases released on the 22nd November (Marc Bolan Electronic Musik EARS165LP & Marc Bolan - Pictures of Purple People EARS166LP). For the very first time the most complete collection of Marc Bolan's incredible early 1960s years. Compiled from tapes originally stolen from Marc & Gloria's home and recently repatriated. Limited pressing of 1000 copies in a card gatefold sleeve with booklet and rare photos. Liner notes by Andrew J Gardner (The Bolan Society / Warrior Music) and brand-new design by Les Clark and remastered by Anders Peterson at Ghost Sound Sweden. Features some tracks with legendary John's Children (the band Marc joined for about 3 months) plus solo outtakes of material used for singles in 1965. 'Jasper C. Debussy' features top session musicians of the time Nicky Hopkins & John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin). This was due to be the follow up to the 1965 single 'Hippy Gumbo' but failed to get a release at the time. Includes the complete acoustic demos from 1966 remastered. Includes the very rare tracks recorded as Toby Tyler early in 1965. 'Reality' & 'A Soldier's Song' are included on an album for the very first time ever, having only ever been released for the very first time on 7" single in 2016. Many of the later acoustic demos give more than a nod towards the sound of the Tyrannosaurus Rex material that would be recorded and produced by Tony Visconti a year or so later.
