Product Description

16 September 2007 saw the 60th anniversary of Marc Bolan s birth, and the 30th Anniversary of his death. Bolan remains an extraordinary cult figure, as contemporary an icon today as in his heyday of 1970-73. From Tolkien-influenced acoustic songs with Tyrannosauras Rex to wowing teenage girls on Top of the Pops, the curly-haired London boy had the cosmic raw material to turn himself into a star. He came back on the crest of the late 1970s new wave, until a tragic car accident dimmed his star forever. In their unsurpassed biography, Chris Welch and Simon Napier-Bell explore the career of the first superstar of glam-rock.
