Nogle udgivelser ser man mere frem til end andre. Jeg glæder mig til august, hvor et seks-cd-bokssæt med Marc Bolan-optagelser fra BBC kommer på gaden. I BBCs arkiver har udgiverne fundet optagelser fra hele mandens karriere – startende med gruppen John’s Children over den akutiske hippieduo Tyrannosaurus Rex og frem til glam-glitter-rockorkesteret T. Rex.

@Claus1: Ja, duoen Tyrannosaurus Rex fortjener opmærksomhed. I det hele taget synes jeg, at Marc Bolan fortjener at blive taget op til genovervejelse og revurdering. Sætter er prissat til ca. 36 £ ( ca. 315 kr.).
Det ser meget spændende ud.. jeg er især ret vild med samarbejdet med Steve P. Took i Tyrannosaurus Rex.. mit favorit album er godnok A Beard Of Stars, netop det første uden Peregrin) Hvis ikke sættet er for dyrt, ryger det på ønskelisten.
