Greeny's a big Marc Bolan/T Rex fan so I thought it would be great to do a T Rex cover for 70sFest. I like T Rex a lot too but I'm only familiar with the album "The Slider" which I have on vinyl and a few of their hits. So I asked Greeny to suggest a few songs and this one struck me right away. It's from their 1971 "Electric Warrior" album and I think it's a great song. So thanks, Greeny, for introducing me to this great song and for providing a brilliant vocal track.

Brilliant. Takes me back to when I first listened to Electric Warrior. This was my favourite song on the album. Thanks guys.

Fantastic!

I'm a big T. Rex fan myself, and this is a faithful and well-done cover. Great vocal Tim, and 64G, you outdid yourself on the guitars and drums.
