Description
As part of our T. Rex "1973" year campaign , alongside the "Whatever Happened To The Teenage Dream?" 5LP and 4CD box sets , and the "Songwriter: 1973" LP , Demon Records will be issuing T. Rex's 1973 singles as highly collectable limited edition 7 " picture discs , with photos from the Keith Morris archive.
The first release is the absolute classic "20th Century Boy", originally released in early March 1973 , and these days amongst Marc Bolan's best remembered songs . It peaked in the UK charts at number 3 , where it stayed for three
weeks, while skinheads turned glam rockers Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noize remained at number 1, and the number 2 slot was occupied by The Faces ("Cindy Incidentally") and then Donny Osmond ("The Twelfth Of Never").
"20 th Century Boy" returned to the UK Top 20 in August 1991 , peaking at number 13 after being used in a TV ad for Levi's starring Brad Pitt (the one where he's being released from prison). The song has been covered by Def
Leppard and Siouxsie & The Banshees , amongst others.
Neither "20th Century Boy" or its B side "Free Angel" appeared on the " album, released three weeks later.
