T.Rex: "T. Rex to Storm States" Article (1972)

T.Rex & Marc Bolan’s "T. Rex to Storm States", a one-page article and poster in Melody Maker, February 12, 1972.

MARC BOLAN and T. Rex who top both British charts this week, leave for their first bill-topping American tour today (Thursday) and climax an exciting year of chart success with a concert at New York's famous Carnegie Hall on February 27.

T. Rex were last in America in the summer, as a support group. Now "Get It On," has hit the US chart, and T. Rex fever is beginning to spread across the States.

Reports B.P. Fallon, T. Rex representative: "The group played very well, especially in Scandinavia, where the audiences were quieter and listened. They started work on the new LP in France and it will be released on the T. Rex Wax Co. in May. They cut some tracks at the Chateau D'Herouville studios, near Paris, where the Grateful Dead, Elton John and Pink Floyd have recorded. They get a nice sound there and they have hip engineers."

Among the tracks completed were "Ballrooms Of Mars," "Thunderwing." There is no title for the album yet.
