Yeah, he was totally in love with himself but he was still a class act.

 

 

Also, this looks right nice....

I remember reading that John Peel, who was always very supportive of Bolan over the years, made a less than favourable comment about a new album. That was it, the Peel and Bolan friendship ended there as far as Marc was concerned!

Peel was, as you recall, very true to his own ethos. He once quoted "I just want to hear something new...." and lived by it. He certainly wasn't particularly enamoured of Bolan's factory-production sound and he wasn't wrong. It did get to a stage when all T-Rex's output began to sound the same. 

 

For me Bolan peaked with 'Teenage Dream'. I never bought any of the others after that. Not in 'real time' anyway.
