Released 13 Mar 1970, A Beard of Stars by Tyrannosaurus Rex. Despite the unchanged band name, Marc had dropped Steve Took and hired a new percussionist named Mickey Finn. It was the first album that Marc played electric guitar on & it made No. 21 in the UK album chart. I loved it! #MarcBolan #TRex

The only appearance of Elton with T. Rex on TOTP was the December Christmas special TOTP 1971 for "Get It On". They were friends. Elton also appeared in the film 'Born To Boogie' in a studio jam with T. Rex. 😎🎸🎶🎹
Here's that TOTP : youtu.be/A4o4Q9sd_y4

Released 11 Mar 1977, Dandy in the Underworld was the final studio album by T. Rex. It reached No. 26 in the UK charts, the band's highest-charting album since 1974's Zinc Alloy.
It was regarded by critics as a comeback & was praised for the songwriting and Bolan's vocal performances. #MarcBolan

BRAVO – Mar 11 ’73 A rare critical review of T. Rex: Essen’s Grugahalle half‑full, bad sound, long improvisations, and Bolan frustrated after a speaker damaged his guitar. Musikladen days later proved he still had the spark. More on the site. #TRex #MarcBolan #1973

Released 2 Mar 1973, the single '20th Century Boy' by T. Rex. It entered the chart at No 3 but got no higher.
"I move like a cat, Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee, Babe, I want to be your man
Well it's plain to see, You were meant for me
Yeah, I'm your boy, Your 20th century toy"

Melody Maker’s March 2, 1973 review of “20th Century Boy” calls it a nervy, dance‑floor‑ready glam anthem. Trembling guitars, Bolan’s howl, and a beat more danceable than “Easy Action” make it a standout moment in his imperial phase.

Released 1 Mar 1974, Zinc Alloy was initially met with bemusement by the listeners. It reportedly confused listeners & divided the band's fanbase at the time, while critical reception was universally negative. Critical re-evaluation has been more favourable, but it remains an oddity. #MarcBolan

«А у Тани на флэту был старинный патефон,
Железная кровать и телефон,
И больше всех она любила Rolling Stones,
Janis Joplin, T. Rex и Doors.»
Небольшая неприятность в виде работы, не омрачит вечер пятницы, настоящим индейцам😉
