This eery series, and I thought the same at the time, was being broadcast around 4.30pm ish (kids tv time). I never quite understood it. Then Bolan died just over a week later. This brings me to Bolan's interview with Harty where he cringes at the thought of old age and sadly predicts his early death. Some serious shit going on me thinks !!

Have you seen my 'The Road I'm On (Gloria)' vid?

[TerraplaneTommy]

Yes, a rumor.

Seems we know better now:

Nothing to do with Bowie at all!

------------------------------­-------------

This is the working version back-up for a song Marc prodced for Richard Jones (brother to Gloria).

The full finished version will be found on CD "Marc Bolan's Pure Magic". The song is titled "LOVIN' YOU", laid down at MRI Studios Hollywood, 5th Jan 1976.

@TerraplaneTommy Thanks for the clue to the whereabouts of this track. I've had it on my iTunes for a long time and knew all the Jones' and not Bowie info, but had no home for it. Now the cover is placed so neatly where it belongs. I don't understand how things get so mismarked and misplaced on YouTube, Frostwire and all. It just takes a little simple reading or research before entering your information. Thanks again, it means a lot to me and I'm sure to others.

"Walking Through That Door" is a track written by Marc Bolan actually titled "Lovin' You" produced for Richard Jones (Gloria Jones' brother) unreleased album, recorded at MRI Studios, Hollywood on January 5, 1976. This is a Bolan backing track often miscredited to David Bowie and Marc Bolan. There is no Bowie on this cut as far as I could find out.
