A tidal wave of screams, tears, and stamping feet — Germany’s first encounter with T. Rex was nothing short of a cultural eruption.

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).
