Following the success of the 2LP set “1972”, Demon Records is proud to announce two new releases in the Marc
Bolan “Songwriter” series. This is a vinyl-only, intimate series that focuses on the private and creative Marc
Bolan, with the emphasis on how that affected his songwriting.
• The second of these new releases is another 2LP set, “1971”, which takes us to the year in which T. Rex became a
chart-topping phenomenon. This 19 track selection includes full-length versions of the hits “Hot Love” and “Get It
On”, along with the single version of “Jeepster”.
• But also included are many other recordings from 1971: B-sides, working versions of “Telegram Sam” and “Life’s
A Gas”, and demos like the 15-minute Complete Acoustic Demo of “Children Of Rarn”.
• This release has been compiled and fully annotated by Mark Paytress, author of the definitive biography “Marc
Bolan: The Rise And Fall of a 20th Century Superstar”, and the recently-published “Glam! When Superstars Rocked
The World, 1970-74”.
