This double album (called a doubleback album) is the 1972 reissue of A Beard of Stars/ Unicorn, by Tyrannosaurus Rex, later known as T. Rex. This was released on Cube Records as TOOFA 9, and re-released original post-1967/ 1969 material once the band achieved top ten hits in 1972. The band were the great Marc Bolan (1947-1977) and Mickey Finn (1947-2003). This comes from a female non-smoking estate and has been carefully looked after. The only real criticism of it is that she has used Letraset letters on the cover and all four sides of the double album with her name 'SUE'; otherwise all condition is very good and clean throughout. Original Cube Records/ Fly inner sleeves. Gatefold sleeve reverses on itself graphically.
