Top of The Pops 31 july 1975 - Marc Bolan T.Rex - New York City -

Many people asked me to upload this clip. This was until now , a missing / wiped performance of Marc Bolan and T. Rex.. It was recorded off air in Belgium on a Sony U-Matic VCR. Reception of the BBC was very variable in Belgium. So some fading and sync problems are present on the recording.

I hope you enjoy.

+William, agree, w u, feel bad for him! 27 is still so young, but he looks bloated and heavy. It was probably the bad drinking, and eating he was doing at that time! Gloria sure looked pretty there!

Richard, there's a video where someone in a frog costume comes onto the stage and dances around. years later, Eric ("Monster Monster") Hall claimed that he was that frog.

By the summer of 1975, Mr Bolan's time as a ginormous teenybopper idol had well and truly passed .... and the tartan-clad Bay City Rollers were by far the most popular group in Great Britain - with young women in the 12 - 20 age range, at any rate.I couldn't help noticing - while watching that 'T.O.T.P.' footage of Bolan from July '75 - that he was wearing an inordinate amount of make-up on his face .... far more, in fact, than he had worn during the peak days of "T. Rextasy" some 3 or 4 years previously. Perhaps his intention - in wearing so much 'slap' - was to make himself look younger than his 27 (nearly 28 years), and to recapture the status as a 'teenybopper' idol that he had had in 1971/72. Personally, I think that, by that juncture in his career (1975), the great man was over-doing the make-up somewhat; it made him look ever-so-slightly effeminate (in my opinion). However, when he had been at the peak of his popularity and success - during the period between early 1971 and mid-1972 (approx) - he never looked in the slightest bit effeminate.Mr Marc Bolan's reign as Britian's number one pop/rock star was a relatively brief one .... but it was also a glorious one. He was a massive talent, and is now generally considered (by knowledgeable pop/rock historians) to have been the instigator of the glam rock craze which swept the nation between mid-1972 and early '75 (approx). R.I.P. Mr Bolan.

Thanks so much for this I saw Marc sing this live at Wimbledon theatre. In the 70s for a show think it was super pop 76. He was in pink suit and pink top hat. Great memories of a legend

I have sent a mail to a BBC person. He didn't even answer my mail. So it is here for the fans. Enjoy.
