Bolan's Cosmic Boogie

A Journey Through The Electric Warrior’s Elevator

From bopping elf to cosmic boogie king – the curls, the glitter, the riffs that launched glam.

Marc Bolan didn’t just ride the wave of glam – he conjured it with a Les Paul, a feather boa, and a whisper that turned into a roar. This is the complete UK discography of the man who made of stardust: every album, single, and rarity from John's Children to T. Rex and beyond.
