sounds like he's playing an out of tune 12 string, gotta say tho, it doesn't sound like Marc's usual playing style, my guess is that it's one of the session players at decca
does anybody have any info on marc bolan doing a version of you're no good as a demo. apparantly for an emi recording test. has that version ever been released?

In regards to EmilyUpJohn's comment on "The Road I'm On (Gloria)," I've listened to both Dion's and Bolan's versions, and I like the latter version more.
Bolan's version is great, but this song was written and first recorded by Dion diMucci (of Dion and the Belmonts fame). His beautiful recording of it is currently up on YouTube -- give it a listen!
If Marc truly knew how he was going to die -and sometimes i really think he did- then why did he still leave June for Gloria, if he knew right from the start that she could be the death of him? It's confusing. Maybe he thought that he couldn't escape fate and just let it all happen..instead of trying to prevent it. Or are we all reading too deeply into this? But nevertheless.. tthere's still so much that suggests he knew.
@YoshiGirlGina He never left June, Gloria was 1 of his many flings and June had enough and finally left him. Although they never did divorce even afterr startin proceedings
@caribouchrist He is not a thief he did a cover like so so so so many other artists he also did bob dylan blowing in the wind but never tried to pass them off as songs he had wrote himself!
Now the song is really beatiful. I think we all know both are responsable for his death. And anyway Gloria loved Marc and it must have been horrible for her, what happened. We can't blame her. Love on ya, Marc.
Well, after all that's said and done: he and Gloria killed Marc...She had Jet-lag and was very tired yet stll drank alcohol: Marc knew these things but instisted to go out and celebrate his new plans and her birthday that was a couple of days before...So conclusion: They both are resonsable for his death...They robbed us and Rolan of Marc and of his life with his child and us....No offence, but that's how I see it...
Life and death is more complicated than that. I am sure it was not that one time being drunk and driving that did it. It caught up with them. I agree both of them had impaired judgement. Marc's repeated decisions to put Gloria on his records was strange. Her voice was often annoying and off-key. At the least awkward, if not distracting. When men leave there wives and run around on them, often bad things happen to all parties involved. Gloria, was an overall bad influence on Marc and his music.
Davwave you are a moron - your talking shit out ya arse mate - Gloria gave Marc a child he adored and loved deeply - Marc's family said the child matured Marc overnight - Marc himself proclaimed a deep love for his baby and Gloria - you are an idiot if you think otherwise given that it came straight from the proverbial "{horses mouth". In anycase who the fuck are you to judge who Marc chose as his partner. Go back to sleep noddy.
In the recent TV documentaries his vocal style at this session where he also recorded 'Blowing In The Wind' was seriously called into question.... How could it be. This is a voice oozing soul and genius even at this early age. The 'Mrs Jones' track from Joe Meeks studio the previous year is the same.. Total passion in the voice..
There never will be anyone like Marc again... I feel so blessed to have met him a few times in 76 and 77.. God bless you Marc..
Wow!! Isn't that a nice bit of singing! How many ways do I love Marc Bolan!! He was such a talented fellow. I sure wish he would have had a longer life!
id like them too but as this is a song by dion (not that mainstream a singer), a b-side, and also marc plays it quite differently to the original, i think itll be hard to find. but im working on it!
just carnt stop playing this,been singing it all day at work....my 7 year old niece loves it,she a Marc Bolan fan now...Thats what it is all about spreading the gospel of marc...
Wonderful video and yes it seems very prophetic, like so many other things in Marc's life. This particular song wasn't written by Marc it was written by Dion Di Mucci of 'run around sue' fame. This i think makes it even more strange that Marc would choose a song quite unpredictably to cover in his early career that appears to be so prophetic.
great song grear video and one of the many spooky things about Marc's songs. (the first know Marc recording when he was 15 is a track called Mrs Jones)
this song is on 20th century superstar 1-4

Since we last loved gloria
the suns been up and down that many times
since we last loved gloria
i've been sharing love with women of kinds
summer ends and leaves start dying
you wont see robin crying
he knows where the sun is hiding
to another nest he's flying
you gave me reason now I've gotta roam
'cos the road I'm on gal won't run me home

Hear my words gloria
echoing from mountains with a cry
Hear my words gloria
you'll see them gal reflecting off the sky
hear it in the cold wind blowing
hear it in the river's flowing
no-one in the mind thats growing
see 'cos the cards thats showing
