Marc Bolan - Born To Boogie makes it to DVD - 2 disc set

[spinout-designs]

London, England - Sanctuary Visual Entertainment announce the most significant T.Rex event in over twenty-five years. Set for simultaneous May 16th 2005 release are BORN TO BOOGIE "DVD" & "CD;" double-DVD and double-CD collections. Eagerly awaited by Marc Bolan, T.Rex and Beatles fans, the DVD includes Ringo Starr's legendary 1972 film 'Born to Boogie', the only two full concerts ever recorded with T.Rex and a wealth of extra material.

In the early 70's Ringo's 'Born to Boogie' was shown at cinemas on both sides of the Atlantic, and had a limited VHS release in the early 90's. Since then the film's fate has been the source of much speculation. Featuring Ringo Starr, Marc Bolan and Elton John with a cameo from Geoffrey Bayldon (Catweazle), only a few well-used 35mm cinema prints of the completed film were thought to survive. Having lain scattered and undiscovered for over 30 years, 'BORN TO BOOGIE' finally brings together all the extra material from the filming of Ringo's epic 1972 rock 'n' roll motion picture.

At 5 hours and 25 minutes, 'BORN TO BOOGIE' "DVD", shows T.Rex at the height of their success, bringing Ringo's visionary film back to its true colour and vibrancy, and revealing hours of material never used in the final cut.

No problem, pacer.

I only started getting into his music a year or so ago I think it was.................. 'The Essential Collection' with the Bonus DVD was the second CD of his that I got...............and I must say I found it quite a good introduction (along with a Best Of T-Rex disc) to the Marc Bolan catalogue.

Since then I have purchased all the original albums on CD from the expanded 'Electric Warrior' onwards as well as some of the Edsel 'alternate' albums. I also picked up Born To Boogie on DVD (transferred by someone from the video version) and so look forward to this Special Edition 2 disc set with all the outtakes, particularly the 2 full shows.

I don't know whether I will delve too much into the pre rock era, but I found much to enjoy in the 70's material.



EDIT I just noticed I titled the topic Mark Bolan and not Marc so I will alter that if I can - though of course his real name was indeed Mark (Feld).

I got Mojo (magazine)

They had an article in there about Marc what I found interesting.

Also had an article on Elvis as well.So it was twice as good
