T-REX

7”

Truck On Tyke

LIMITED EDITION

500 MADE

PICTURE DISC

The last year of recordings of the classic line up of

T. Rex {Marc Bolan, Steve Currie, Mickey Finn, Bill

Legend) and with Tony Visconti producing.

Recorded in the U.S & Germany less than a month

apart. ‘Truck On’ having been demoed acoustically

in Tony Visconti’s flat with wife Mary ( Hopkins )

harmonising in October 1971 it took 20 months to

actually record the song, which was then issued as

a single within the next 5 months in November 1973

and was the first T.Rex single to not enter the top 10

stalling as it did at 13 . This version is less polished

 and much more appealing to fans than the released

version it’s been argued. Satisfaction Pony a re-

recorded final version ended up on the B side of the

Teenage Dream single in February 1974 These

recordings from Marc’s own tapes (part of the

material stolen from his & Gloria s house and now

repatriated with the estate)

(Munich 18th June 1973).
