Marc Bolan T.Rex - "Teenage Dream" Rare 1974 Performance video free download
This video is a selection of unauthorised T.Rex releases and Press Promo's from my collection. Marc Bolan may be the most bootlegged artist in history. But without these releases many great performances would be lost to the fans forever. This version of Teenage Dream comes from "Great Hits From The Box". It was recorded especially for the BBC and was used as the backing for Bolan's only performance of the song on UK TV. This version was also played on BBC Radio 1 during the single's chart run instead of the official release.
The mix replaces the orchestra with prominent saxophone and additional guitar. The video was thought to be lost, however, a monochrome version is now known to exist at least in part.

It was uploaded but removed due to copyright complaints. It's a pity that it can't reach a wider audience as it's brilliant.11 years ago

Thanx for your answer. ^^ I've reeditions for certains cd albums (thanx amazon and co) but I'm sad that T. Rex is unknown for many young french dudes and girls. They don't know what they miss.11 years ago

I live in Scotland where we can buy any T.Rex CD's when they're released. However, a lot of the classic albums are due to be re-released. The best place to buy T.Rex music now is Ebay.11 years ago

Thank so much, such a pleasure to see all these people who love Marc Bolan ! I'm curious : in France it's a little difficult to find cd and books. Is it different in your countries ?11 years ago

Yes there is a "teaser" of it on Youtube. The so called fans who say they own it could do all life long Marc Bolan fans a favour and release it for us all to enjoy. This TOTP performance was the only time Marc appeared on the show between the one performance of The Groover in June 1973 and returning in June 1975 to perform New York City.12 years ago
