The final Tyrannosaurus Rex album — and the first spark of Bolan’s electric future.

A heavy, swaggering reinvention, “Brontosaurus” marked Roy Wood’s emergence as a theatrical frontman and set the stage for the wild, technicolour decade that followed.

A shimmering piece of folk‑psych mysticism, “By The Light Of A Magical Moon” captures Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took at the final threshold of the Tyrannosaurus Rex era.

Released on January 16 1970 by Regal Zonophone (RZ 3025), the 7" pairs the ethereal A‑side with “Find A Li

Released on July 25, 1969 (some sources list late July), the single appeared on Regal Zonophone under catalogue number RZ 3022. This 7-inch release was the band’s fifth single

In the winter of 1968, The Move delivered one of their most sophisticated and enduring singles. Written by Roy Wood, “Blackberry Way” was a lush, psychedelic pop masterpiece featuring intricate harmonies, dramatic orchestration, and a memorable descending melody. Released on November 28, 1968, the single appeared on Regal Zonophone under catalogue number RZ 3015.

In the late summer of 1968, Tyrannosaurus Rex were developing their unique brand of acoustic, poetic folk-rock.

Tyrannosaurus Rex’s debut album introduced Marc Bolan’s earliest incarnation: a mystical, acoustic, psychedelic folk duo steeped in fantasy, whimsy, and the late‑1960s underground scene. Recorded quickly on a tight budget, the album established Bolan as a singular voice in British psychedelia, long before the electric glam‑rock transformation of T. Rex. Released on July 5 1968 by Regal Zonophone (SLRZ 1003), the album marked the beginning of Bolan’s recording career and the f

In early 1968, Tyrannosaurus Rex were forging a mystical, acoustic identity unlike anything else in the British underground. “Deborah” emerged as one of Marc Bolan’s earliest recorded spells — a fragile, poetic folk incantation carried by Steve Peregrin Took’s gentle percussion.
