This was a brilliant song and deserved a lot better than the chart placing it got. Much better than the previous single The Groover. A real rocking follow on from the excellent 20th Century Boy.

@imalovedrunk I actually quite like London Boys, though I prefer the more raw distorted version on the Alternate Futuristic Dragon CD. The song is also featured in the hit musical "20th Century Boy" in Ipswich England this year.

The acoustic version is much better...but like this too.

I was a fan of T.Rex but this when I knew he´d really lost his way. What a shame...
-
Thank you very much for uploading this song. I bought a CD of "T. REX Greatest hits" while I was in the UK. I was upset by finding the fact that the CD did not have this tune.

Some Rex to cheer your day!

" Jive " brain bender.

Don`t recall T.Rex over promoting this.
Still a really cool Boaln line:
`People put you down coz yer to low on the ground
they can`t hurt thou, coz yer cosmic.`
Love that.......

It may not be Marc's best but you've got to love lyrics like "With my silver studded Fender, I'm a child brain bender"! Only TV promotional appearance was a tea time slot on Lift Off With Ayshea on ITV with Mickey Finn on drums as Bill Legend had just left the band.The B-side (as ever) was another quality song "Sitting Here". Great photos. Thanks for posting.
