He only used the capo on the 5th fret on Telegram Sam (he used it on the 4th for Ride a White Swan).
I agree that you HAVE to use a capo on Telegram Sam in order the get the same tone feel, as it simply doesn't work on an open 'A'. However of more significance in achieving that tone is a combination of a that very special Les Paul into a Dallas Rangemaster, into a Colorsound Power Boost into an HH IC100 amp.
@COZZIG Notice the capo on the 5th fret? That's why a lot of people can't get the same T.Rex guitar sound, he uses a capo on the Les Paul guitar in a lot of his songs.

Bolan, Legend-drums, Finn, congos, Currie- bass. This is the ultimate T-Rex line-up. God awful Gloria did not polute the sound as of this time.

I am tiring of the apoligists. Admit it, she brought the band down.

Who is this Gloria you speak of? Please fill me in.

DAVWAVE,
I don't think you're right, but...
If you were right, then it was Bolan's fault only, as he had 100% control of T.Rex, who's in and who's out...
THINK !
