September 2007 sees the 30th Anniversary of Marc Bolan’s death.
Marc Bolan remains an extraordinary
cult figure, as contemporary an icon today as in his heyday of 1970-73.
Emerging from the psychedelic underground of the 1960s, his showman’s
charisma set him apart from the hippie set. From Tolkien-influenced
acoustic songs with T.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. Written with the
co-operation of the Marc Bolan Fan Club and June Bolan, the star’s
first wife, it remains the definitive book on Marc Bolan.
