Rare 1975 T. Rex Recording Unveiled on Marc Bolan's 78th Birthday

In a fitting tribute, a previously unreleased T. Rex song has been unveiled on what would have been the late Marc Bolan's 78th birthday. The track, titled "I'm Dazed," was originally recorded in March 1975 at Paris' Château d'Hérouville, but this version was laid down at Munich's Musicland Studios on April 22, 1975.

Produced by Bolan and engineered by Reinhold Mack, the song features T. Rex's classic lineup, including Bolan, Steve Currie, Gloria Jones, Davey Lutton, and Dino Dines. This rare recording is the latest in a long line of special T. Rex releases, compilations, and reissues that Bolan's estate and business entities have shared with fans over the past years.

Earlier today, English Heritage also commemorated Bolan's birthday by installing a blue plaque at his former home in London. The T. Rex frontman, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, is fondly remembered as a "poet" by his peers, including Ringo Starr, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Tony Visconti, Elton John, David Bowie, and John Lydon.
