Brilliant performance of a great song.................only slightly marred by the source master tape going a little warped on some of Marc's high vocal parts.
I never got the move to the organ. no Legend at drums, and no Mickey, I do not hear T-Rex on this. I hear a voice that is Marc Bolan, and not an insprired one. If you love Marc Bolan blindly, this is even way down on the list.
@DAVWAVE I saw T.Rex on the Dandy tour. The organ is very prominent in this mix which I believe was taken from the sound desk. It wasn't a full live recording which would have been brilliant. The sound at the concert was really driven by Marc and Miller's guitars. Dino's keyboard was way down in the mix. And they played really loud!! Steve had left the band after Laser Love and sadly died in a car accident in Portugal in 1980.
The boogie was on its way back. And Gloria had left the band!!!!
@andytrex I totally agree Marc Bolan on the way back. Soul of my suit proves that. Hearing an alaternate cut where Marc is directing that song(Soul of my Suit) is further evidence he was coming all the way back.
@andytrex You are so right ! I was there for this recording - at the Portsmouth Locarno . Live it was a really heavy rocking sound ! Really blew the Damned off stage ! I remember feeling dissapointed when I heard the album because it wasn't heavy enough !
@MOJOPIN1960 Great memories. The Dandy concert in Glasgow on Saturday night was cancelled after the audience was in the Apollo theatre as some equipment had been left at the previous venue. They announced that it would take place on the following night. They were selling advance copies of Dandy In the Underworld which I bought and played constantly the next day. So I knew the new songs by the time I heard them live. It was the best T.Rex live performance I ever saw. Sadly it was also the last.
Karin... I think I like this version better the the album track! Wonderful stuff! And what a good way to end my day! I just found out my nephew and his wifey are having their baby tonight or by morning! And listening to Marc, well, I am so very happy! Bless Your Big Bolan Heart!
God, these lyrics are fantastic! I think this might be some of Marc's best writing.

I think Marc saw it as a musical progression.
Personally I much prefer the guitar based boogie.
