Posted on by JL

2 October 2025

60s/70s legends T. REX (originally named Tyrannosaurus Rex) were
pioneers of glam rock, fronted by poster star Marc Bolan. With 12 LPs
between 1970 and 1977, and a series of hit singles such as Hot Love,
Telegram Sam and 20th Century Boy, they cemented their legacy for
eternity.

Unfortunately, Bolan was a deadly victim
of a car crash in 1977. He was only 29.

But they never disappeared from the boogie rock universe.
Their work influenced countless artists over the years and still
does. And their music is immortal.

A previously unreleased track, titled I’M DAZED is discovered now and online.

Uncut Magazine revealed that “I’m Dazed” was first laid to tape in March 1975
at Château d’Hérouville in Paris. The version released today was cut at Munich’s Musicland Studios on April 22, 1975 with the classic T. Rex lineup of Bolan, Steve Currie, Gloria Jones, Davey Lutton, and Dino Dines. It was recently discovered on studio tapes from the era“.

T.REX Forever.

Waking Up With… TELEGRAM SAM 51 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

Works faster and harder than caffeine

5 February 2023

The late glam star MARC BOLAN (30 Sept 1947 – 16 Sept 1977) and his band
T.REX topped the UK Singles Chart 51 years ago today, on 5 Feb 1971, with sultry
groove classic TELEGRAM SAM.

Info: The lyrics feature numerous figures such as Bobby (who is a natural
born poet who is just outta sight), Golden Nose Slim (knows where you been),
Jungle Faced Jake (about whom no mistake must be made) and Purple Pie Pete
(whose lips are like lightning and are capable of generating a heat power sufficient
to liquefy females). Despite their charms, the singer expresses his loyalty to his
“main man”, the titular Sam.

The song featured on their 7th LP Slider (#4 on the UK Charts).

Give it some hot love, folks.
