Remembering Steve Took on his birthday ~
Three magical, unique albums with Marc Bolan (in '68 and '69). A gifted percussionist & backing vocalist, Steve added a special touch and depth to Marc's music. https://t.co/dV9K0xb81c

MARC BOLAN ~T. Rex
1971 Sept. 24th Electric Warrior album released.
Not just iconic, but truly a game-changer. Hard to overstate how influential this album was (and still is). Each track shimmers with Bolan's unique groove & superb Visconti production.
Marc Bolan's first two albums (both '68) are steeped in the mythical world he invented. One of my favorites from this time is "The Travelling Tragitian": 🎶https://t.co/6CDebAef0p #marcbolan 'It's sky clear, you're a gift from the fair folk ...' #kalmiyh
