Memories of Marc Bolan’s T.Rex Electric Warrior
Hi everyone
We are a growing independent podcast called The Friday Vinyl Club focused on Music memories and Meaningful albums
This episode I sat down with my good friend Simon for a conversation that travels from a family radio shop in Greenford to Live Aid to Nick Cave and back to 1971 glam rock perfection.
T. Rex. “Electric Warrior”. The album that started everything for Simon.
Amongst other things we talk about:
Growing up with Mum’s radio and The Beatles before the family Radio Rentals shop in Greenford became a gateway to a whole world of music
Discovering Marc Bolan on Top of the Pops and running to buy Electric Warrior in 1971 - the moment glam rock changed everything
Nick Cave’s extraordinary cover of Cosmic Dancer from the Angel Headed Hipster tribute album
A wander into Electric Warrior, Tony Visconti’s lush production, the swagger of Jeepster, the blues of Lean Woman Blues and the bold artistic vision of Monolith and Rip-Off
You can listen wherever you find your podcasts or via the link below - it’s also fully timestamped so you can listen to all or part of the chat as you wish
Would love your feedback and thoughts!
Thanks
