These very early recordings were supplied by Simon Napier-Bell, Marc Bolan's first manager and are a fascinating historical archive. Originally issued on vinyl as ERED 20 and reaching number 8 in the indie charts, the first editions came either with a gatefold sleeve and book You Scare Me To Death or as a picture disc. This CD has 3 rare bonus tracks from The Wizard single plus an interview with Marc which later appeared in the book.
