Marc Bolan (pron. BOE-lən; born Mark Feld; 30 September 1947 – 16 September 1977) was an English singer-songwriter, musician, guitarist, and poet. He was best known as the lead singer of the glam rock band T. Rex.
Bolan grew up in post-war Stoke Newington Common, in the borough of Hackney, East London, the son of Phyllis Winifred (née Atkins) and Simeon Feld, a lorry driver. His father was an Ashkenazi Jew of Russian/Polish extraction. Later moving to Wimbledon, southwest London, he fell in love with the rock and roll of Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Arthur Crudup and Chuck Berry and hung around coffee bars such as the 2i's in Soho.
He was a pupil at Northwold Primary School, Upper Clapton. He appeared as an extra in an episode of the television show Orlando, dressed as a mod. At the age of nine, Bolan was given his first guitar and began a skiffle band. While at school, he played guitar in "Susie and the Hula Hoops," a trio whose vocalist was a 12-year-old Helen Shapiro. During lunch breaks at school, he would play his guitar in the playground to a small audience of friends. At 15, he was expelled from school for bad behaviour.
The Midnight is the name of the third EP released by electronica duo Lemon Jelly, according to the insert of Lemonjelly.ky, on July 17, 2000. It was limited to 1,000 10" copies, the first 350 of which featured hand screen-printed sleeves. The tracks from the EP were later incorporated, for more accessible listening, into the critically acclaimed Lemonjelly.ky album. The cover had silver foil stamped on the inner sleeve and die-cut holes in the outer sleeve so when the record was pulled out of its sleeve, the stars twinkled in the night sky.
From 1998 to 2000, Franglen and Deakin released three limited-circulation EPs, The Bath (1998), The Yellow (1999), and The Midnight (2000), on their very own label, Impotent Fury. The EPs were a critical success, and led to the duo being signed to XL Recordings.
"Come" uses samples from "You" performed by Lani Hall and from "Country and Blues Harmonica for the Musically Hopeless" performed by Jon Gindick.

#absolut #20thcenturyboy #warhol #trex #marcbolan #1985totoday #borntomix An all-time classic hit single, Demon Music Group presents this Top Of The Pops performance of ‘20th Century Boy’ in its full length for the first time in 50 years.. T.Rex made only one TOTP performance in support of 20th Century Boy, recorded on 28 February 1973, but the BBC did not keep a copy. However, via a licensing agreement with ZDF in Germany the bulk of the performance was broadcast on their “Disco 73” programme and a copy was retained. Demon Music Group have now been able to combine this with the Super 8 footage to complete the performance for the first time. 20th Century Boy remains one of the most-loved T.Rex tracks with its distinctive guitar riff instantly recognised for its power and style. It ...

On 18 March 1972 T.Rex performed two sell-out concerts at the Empire Pool, Wembley (capacity 10,000 per show). They were only the second group to play there – the first having been Led Zeppelin in November 1971 – other than for multi-artist NME awards and charity shows in the 1960s. The Empire Pool was originally just that – a swimming pool built for the 1934 Empire Games. Having had three number one singles (with two more at number two) and the Electric Warrior album at number one for eight weeks either side of Christmas 1971, T.Rex were the hottest group in the UK. Both concerts featured 10 songs, mixing the hits (Jeepster, Telegram Sam, Hot Love, Get It On) with b-sides and album tracks performed by the band (Cadilac, Baby Strange) and as an acoustic interlude (Spaceball Ricochet, Gi...
