In 1970, I was hitching back to Oban from the Isle of Wight festival when I cam across a tomtom player in Crianlarich! We sat in the pub with me on guitar and him on tomtoms and we went through all the Tyranosaurus Rex Catalogue that we knew! Even some that we didn't! Those really were the days!
'69 I was calling myself "Gorbadock Brandybuck" from "The Hobbit", and carried a steer horn like they did in Middle Earth. Sheesh, seems like 3 lifetimes ago! Beautiful sound. Now I feel like I'm on my way back there.
HAHAHA, what a badass comment If i was alive in 69, i'd have trekked to the ends of middle earth(Or at least our minds) and back with you Mr. Brandybuck. Ah well, perhaps in another 3 lifetimes... See you at the Green Dragon my dear Gorbadock...
My bro got me my people were fair and prophets seers and sages album for my 18th. He was a full blown hippie,i been with marc ever since,you get lost in this early stuff and drift away,truly cosmic....
Steve Took adds some good back-up singing and other sounds on this and other early songs. However, he could not handle his drugs. He let it get the better of him and he was let go.
THERE HE WAS - READY TO BECOME A BIG STAR AND CHANGE A 'SQUILLION' YOUNG LIVES - INCLUDING MY OWN ! !

What are the chords?

I believe there are just two. depends on the key you play. Something like G and A minor or A and B minor.

Great to see that at least some footage of the real Tyrannosaurus Rex remains. The drummer will have been Steve Took at this time, not Mickey Finn.
