Two shows, two energies, one glittering eruption of glam rock — Wembley ’72 remains the day T. Rex became myth.

A sold‑out Wembley, a second show added, and cameras rolling — T. Rex captured the full force of their 1972 superstardom in a single explosive night.

Marc Bolan crowned Britain’s favourite — and the world takes notice. Lindisfarne rise, Olivia reigns.

A nation between glam glitter and folk poetry — the March 18 charts reveal the sound of a changing Britain.

A heavily promoted, highly anticipated T. Rex concert at Carnegie Hall becomes one of the most debated glam‑rock moments of 1972, drawing both ecstatic fans and a sharply critical New York Times review.

Released in the UK on November 5, 1971, T. Rex’s “Jeepster” arrived as a defining glam‑rock single issued by Fly Records (BUG 16). Written by Marc Bolan and produced by Tony Visconti for Straight Ahead Productions Ltd., the track fuses blues roots with Bolan’s seductive glam strut, lifting its central riff and vocal phrasing from Howlin’ Wolf’s “You’ll Be Mine” (written by Willie Dixon).
