My People Were Fair And Had Sky In Their Hair ...

Product Description
Originally released in 1968 and produced by Tony Visconti, the first Tyrannosaurus Rex album ‘My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair…’ positioned the former Mod face and beatnik Marc Bolan right at the heart of the burgeoning underground / hippie subculture. Along with his multi-instrumentalist partner Steve Peregrin Took, Marc married strange, flight-of-fancy lyrics with a new folky and percussive sound on early Bolan classics like ‘Child Star’, Strange Orchestras’ and ‘Frowning Atahuallpa(My Inca Love)’ – the latter of which even contained a children’s story for Marc by DJ John Peel. This new 2-CD deluxe edition of ‘My People Were Fair…’ contains a 2014 remaster by Tony Visconti and Sean Magee plus a host of bonus material. It includes both stereo and mono versions of the original album plus 12 tracks recorded for John Peel’s ‘Top Gear’ show in 1967 and 1968, all unreleased. Also present are 4 songs from the Joe Boyd sessions, 2 of which are previously unreleased, 7 Tony Visconti home demos of which 5 are previously unreleased and 2 Marc Bolan interviews, also previously unreleased. Also comes with a booklet featuring a new essay by respected Bolan expert Mark Paytress.

Has any artist been been milked as badly as Bolan since his death (I include Hendrix & the Doors in that statement)? I long ago lost count of the Bolan/T. Rex "rarities sets, reissues with bonus cuts, boxes, etc" that have been released in the cd era. And on more "legitimate" labels than I can count.

I have never seen these deluxe Bolan issues 'cheap'
If they were £10 or less each i'd bite

If they release the latest re-mastering by Tony Visconti with the extras for "The Slider" I buy in a moment but the UK box is WAY to expensive for me.
