Release Notes: On 16th June 1972 Marc Bolan & T.Rex played Manchester Bellevue as part of a short Summer tour which took in Cardiff, Birmingham & Newcastle. Metal Guru was No.1 In the singles chart (the second single of the year and the second No.1) and the classic album The Slider was scheduled for release the following month. They had recently sold out 2 shows at Wembley Empire Pool and Marc Bolan was working with ex-Beatle Ringo Starr on his own Movie Project Born to Boogie. Here was a band at the very top of their game .... 45 years on from that very concert in Manchester we are releasing a double Live album from some of the best performances from that and the previous year captured on Marc's very own reels of tape. 2x LP set in deluxe mirror board cover with printed inner sleeves all audio has been cleaned and re mastered for vinyl. Captures the band at the very pinnacle of their fame. Features the hits Ride A White Swan, Jeepster, Hot Love , Get It On , Debora. All tracks taken from Marc's own ¼ reels. Part of our celebration of Marc's 70th Birthday this year !
