even when i was 9 years old i thought his lyrics were pretentious tosh.

Bolan was a poet! A poet I’ll have you know.

Came up on shuffle this morning, I always liked the cut of Mr Bolan’s jib.

Track No 1 on the first album (sorry, LP) I ever bought – I’ll always remember the look on my Dad’s face when I put it on the gramophone 😆

I always remember my dad coming home with a box of T Rex singles and 3 albums, The Slider, Electric Warrior & Ride a White Swan (the guitar part of Elemental Child still sounds amazing).
