T. REX ON TV

Close to 3 hours in length, the rare footage selected from French, UK and German broadcasters clearly demonstrates Marc Bolan's mesmerising impact. Showcasing the hits along with exclusive material, T. REX ON TV gives the definitive visual account of one of music's most powerful and highly influential performers.

Newly compiled, the DVD includes a 49 - minute documentary produced in 1997 recalling Marc’s entire career and includes contributions from all the major players in his life. Highlights are the excerpts from the fondly remembered mid-seventies pop show Supersonic and ultra rare footage of T. Rex performing their singles on European television stations.

Despite Marc’s untimely death in 1977, the success and continuing impact of T. Rex as a rock visionary is undeniable. At the height of their success the band reportedly sold up to 100,000 records per day. Over the years the music of T. Rex has been used in countless TV adverts and movies, including Billy Elliot, The Truman Show and Velvet Goldmine. Currently, ‘Get It On’ is featured in Sam Mendes’ critically acclaimed movie ‘Jarhead’. Today, many new recording artists, including Goldfrapp and Franz Ferdinand continue to draw inspiration from the infectious, distinctive revolutionary sound of T. Rex.
