T.Rex
Hi Steve, Great Website. Just one bit of info I can add about T.Rex.'Celebrate Summer was released in the UK, on September 1st 1977, although it did not chart. The B side had an unfortunate title, in view of the tragedy that befell Marc Bolan later that month; 'Ride My Wheels.' I have a lot of compilations by, and books on T.Rex. I can't remember which one I read it in, so I can't give you a reference, sorry. +Best Wishes + John Hunt
