Description
On 24th June 1972 Marc Bolan & T.Rex played Newcastle City Hall as part of a short Summer tour which took in Cardiff , Birmingham, Manchester. Metal Guru was No.1 In the singles chart (the second single of the year and the second No.1) and the classic album The Slider was scheduled for release the following month. They had recently sold out 2 shows at Wembley Empire Pool and Marc Bolan was working with ex-Beatle Ringo Starr on his own Movie Project Born to Boogie. Here was a band at the very top of their game ….
45 years on from that very concert in Newcastle we are releasing a double Live album from some of the best performances from that and the previous year captured on Marc’s very own reels of tape

At last!! This album is a testament to how great a band T.Rex were live. You can hear the screams, and Bolan and co at the top of their game. The packaging is absolutely stunning, and, the single/mag are a lovely touch. I can’t rate it highly enough. There’s a lot of first time on vinyl, too which is absolutely fine by me….Thanx for a lovely piece of art…The sleeve is incredible. Any more along these lines? Sign me up!!
Rock On!!

I love this album transporting me back to 72 and my love of T.Rex. The recording is very good for the time and I like the inbetween banter by Marc. I know it’s been out before but the vinyl feels and looks something special.
