Remembering Mickey Finn on his birthday ~ 3rd June 1947 (died 11th Jan. 2003) Percussionist with Marc (Tyrannosaurus Rex/T. Rex) Easygoing, upbeat, and good looking - Mickey was part of the classic T. Rex sound. 🪘"Jeepster" live: youtu.be/GaohqHE63n4 #MickeyFinn #MarcBolan #TRex #70s #classic

Had a flood nearly take out my record collection. So... to honor them (and vow to store them in a safer place). Here are selections from my collection. Record 1/? T Rex Electric Warrior. Do we talk about Marc Bolan? People should talk about Marc Bolan.

MARC BOLAN ~T. Rex 1973 June 1st "The Groover" single was released. Fun, cheeky, stomping rocker; with Tony Visconti also on the intro shout: "T - R - E - X!" Reached #4 on UK chart. Japan inner sleeve. #marcbolan #TRex #classic #rocknroll 🎶 youtu.be/ZdyKneo3anA%...

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. Byron

Wonderful record, unlike anything I’d heard before. Still a favorite - wish I could find their others from that period here in the US

MARC BOLAN ~ 16th May 1969 Unicorn album released. Final album with Steve Took - it's the epitome of Marc's early album era. Poetical, mystical ... often a surprise for fans who know Marc's songs first from T. Rex hits. Absolute gem. ⭐Full album: dailymotion.com/video/x23nu7... #marcbolan #TRex
