A lost broadcast from the earliest days of Bolan and Took — six songs, one interview, and a vanished moment of psychedelic folk alchemy.

Tyrannosaurus Rex record a six‑track session for John Peel’s Top Gear at BBC Studio 1, Piccadilly, capturing the duo at their earliest and most mystical. Recorded on March 11, 1968 and broadcast across two Top Gear programmes, these performances showcase Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took at their most intimate — acoustic, incantatory, and steeped in early T. Rex mythology. 📰 Key Highlights • Recorded March 11, 1968, BBC Studio 1, 201 Piccadilly, London • First broadcast on

In early 1968, Tony Visconti walked into Middle Earth and saw a duo unlike anything he had encountered in London’s psychedelic underground. Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took sat cross‑legged on the floor, weaving strange, hypnotic songs over hand‑drummed rhythms. That night, Visconti approached Bolan, offered his card, and unknowingly set the stage for one of the most important producer‑artist relationships of the era
