They also document how Marc and his super-hot band kept the tapes rolling when recording all over the world, from London to the USA, to Germany and France and back to London. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncluded of course is I’m Dazed, the “lost” T. Rex single unearthed from those tape boxes in 2024. Remastered and released on cosmic yellow seven-inch on Marc’s birthday in 2025 (with a new take of Billy Super Duper on its B-side), it helped mark the occasion of Marc being awarded an official English Heritage Blue Plaque. The honour made him just one of 5 pop musicians to ever receive the accolade, alongside Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. Two very different takes of I’m Dazed shimmer here: the 2025 single version remixed by Steven Wilson, and another, much slower take, led by languid drums, clavinet and piano. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e74-77\u003c\/em\u003e comes in 2LP packaging with photography by Kevin Cummins, The set was curated for Demon by “T.Rexpert” Martin Barden and mastering undertaken by AIR Studios’ Phil Kinrade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demon","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":57392990028107,"sku":"R2992-4760","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/DEMREC1303_T-Rex_1974-1977_2LP_Packshot_2D_WithSticker.jpg?v=1779309985","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/1974-1978","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
