I just love this album,

I have pre- ordered this 40th anniversary cd set.

And the 40th double vinyl album.

It will be nice to hear what they have done to it to spread it onto two LPs?

22 tracks.

Its out on the 27th April.

It takes me back to a time in my youth.

When my Father used to shout up the stairs??????

If you don't turn that narr narrr narr music down now ?

I will turn the fuse box off to your room

Now when my dear old comes over ,I can still get up his nose.

He quite likes MB now though

I loathed T. Rex with a passion when I was a seriously pretentious pseudo intellectual 17 year old. Same with the Bay City Rollers.

Now I quite enjoy small doses of both. Not sure what that says about them or me.

I put 3 Bay City Rollers in the stock room next to the Sony stand in Harrods.

You could hear hundreds of young girls running through the book dept.

It was un-real,

Tam,

Said thanks ,gave me some free tickets and a bung .

I gave the tickets away and kept the bung.

I did bump into one 20 or so years later,

Had a good chat.

Thanks for heads up Stu. I shall look this up when it has been released (hopefully I can get one from a local store at some point).

I was more in the Slade camp back then and really found T Rex only a couple of years later (in the latter part of 70's).

You can't fool the Children of the Revolution

I like EW too, but my people were fair and wore stars in the hair and many had a matching beard of stars, as they rode the white swan like the children of rarn with their prophets, seers and sages they were the angels of the ages as the wizard on his unicorn might say whilst stirring a bowl of hippy gumbo with the elemental child, but in the end one has to ask is it strange to dance so soon?

All the best, Telegram Sam

Bolan Boogie was one of the first albums I ever bought,had to hide it from my mates and play it secretly,it was very uncool to like him then!

Still have that album,very scratched now but have a couple of newer copies.

Stu,time flies I bought the Electric Warrior 30th anniversary cd,extra tracks were premix before backing vocals and strings were added.

Life's a gas!!
