T. Rex, I’m Dazed, Billy Super Duper - 7" Single, Cosmic Yellow Vinyl

Demon Music Group are delighted to announce the recent discovery and forthcoming release of 'I'm Dazed' - a previously unreleased song by Marc Bolan and T.Rex! Recorded in Munich between the 'Bolan's Zip Gun' and 'Futuristic Dragon' sessions, the yearning 'I'm Dazed' comes from yet another phase of creative transition for the restless Bolan muse. With its feet planted in the rocky roots of 'Bolan's Zip Gun', 'I'm Dazed' also looks ahead to the soulful stylings of 'Futuristic Dragon', with a fantastically R&B influenced vocal from Marc. The unearthing of 'I'm Dazed' has proved a mystery for Bolanphiles - apparently, nobody was aware of its existence. From newly discovered studio tapes from the period, we learn that the track was first laid down at the famed Château d'Hérouville studios near Paris in early 1975. Moving on from France to Germany, T.Rex recorded this second version on 22nd April at Musicland Studios in Munich. With Marc producing and 'Zinc Alloy''s Reinhold Mack (Sparks, Queen, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones) in the engineer's chair, the track features the classic mid-'70s T.Rex lineup of Marc, Steve Currie, Gloria Jones, Davey Lutton, and Dino Dines. For this release the original studio track has been mixed from master tapes by acclaimed musician and sound wizard (and T.Rex superfan!) Steven Wilson and comes backed with a previously unreleased, also recently unearthed studio take (Take 2) of Bolan rarity 'Billy Super Duper'.
