Disco de T. Rex: “My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair...But Now They're Content to Wear Stars [”

This first T. Rex album (July 1968) introduced to the world a quixotic character, a self-promoting pixie who sang incomprehensibly in a voice equal parts Donovan and Tiny Tim. It would be a few more albums before his song-writing hit its stride, and a few more after that before his self-promotion peaked, but here at the beginning most of the elements of the Legend Bolan were already in place.

This is a first class reissue, with both mono and stereo mixes, outtakes and a single. The extensive liner notes by Rexaholic Mark Paytress, rare photos and complete lyrics fill out the deluxe packaging.
