After 50 years in the vaults, two exclusive T. Rex recordings have been unearthed and fans are about to hear Marc Bolan like never before.

Demon Music Group have released “I’m Dazed”, a completely unheard T. Rex song recorded in 1975, alongside a rare take of “Billy Super Duper.” These treasures were recently discovered on forgotten studio tapes, giving a remarkable new window into Bolan’s musical world.

The unearthing of ‘I’m Dazed’ has proved a mystery for Bolan devotees, who only heard rumours of a possible recording. From newly discovered studio tapes from the period, the track was first laid down at the famed Château d’Hérouville studios near Paris in March 1975. Moving on from France to Germany, T. Rex recorded this second version on 22nd April at Musicland Studios in Munich. With Marc producing and Reinhold Mack (Sparks, Queen, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones) in the engineer’s chair, the track features the classic mid-‘70s T. Rex lineup of Marc, Steve Currie, Gloria Jones, Davey Lutton, and Dino Dines.

Martin Barden, consultant to Demon Music, who discovered the tracks said: “While cataloguing some old T. Rex tapes, I spotted tracks I’d never heard before. When we played the reel and Marc’s voice came through, it was magical. To unearth this completely unheard track, ‘I’m Dazed’, after 50 years, feels like finding hidden treasure and is a true gift for fans. This song was recorded when Marc was living an itinerant life, hopping across borders and continents – and producing some of the most innovative music of his life. It is such a pleasure to be sharing new music after all these years.”

The “I’m Dazed” track has been mixed from master tapes by acclaimed musician and sound wizard (and T. Rex superfan!) Steven Wilson and comes backed with an unearthed studio take of a Bolan rarity ‘Billy Super Duper’. Both tracks will be available to stream and download on September 30th with a very limited edition 7” single launching on 7^th November.  

The two unheard tracks coincide with a major moment of recognition for Marc Bolan’s enduring influence, as English Heritage today unveiled a blue plaque at Bolan’s former home at 31 Clarendon Gardens, Maida Vale, London, commemorating his extraordinary contribution to British music and culture.

The ceremony, held on what would have been Bolan’s birthday, was led by legendary Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman CBE. The guest speakers were Martin Barden, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Captain Sensible and Rat Scabies (The Damned) in celebration of Bolan’s life and legacy. 

Yes keyboardist and PRS Members’ Fund patron, Rick Wakeman CBE, said: “I am pretty sure that if Marc is with us in spirit today he’d be absolutely thrilled to see the blue plaque and probably would write a song about it. Marc was a truly remarkable person, with an extraordinary clarity of vision about what he wanted to achieve — a quality that made him unique across so many musical, fashion, and artistic forms.” “To think that after all these years, we’re still discovering unheard T. Rex tracks like ‘I’m Dazed’ and ‘Billy Super Duper’ is just incredible and proves how deep and rich his creativity really was.”

BBC Radio 3 presenter and English Heritage blue plaques panel member, Petroc Trelawny, said: “Marc Bolan was not just a hitmaker, he was a visionary who led a glitter-drenched revolution that transformed the sound – and style – of the 70s, both in the music scene and beyond. His fusion of folk roots, electric rock, and decadent style opened the door to glam, and his fearless self-expression paved the way for future icons. This plaque in Maida Vale marks the building he called home at the peak of his artistry: from here, he captured the imagination of a generation.”

We are delighted to confirm that Bluey has now passed ONE BILLION lifetime audio streams. This is an incredible achievement and highlights the phenomenal growth of Bluey streams. A huge thank you to everyone who has worked collaboratively on such an amazing brand! Well done all!
