TYRANNOSAURUS REX / DAVID BOWIE / JOHN PEEL For The Lion
And The Unicorn In The Oak Forests Of Faun (Amazing 1969 UK
twelve page 10" x 8" tour programme for one of the early live
concerts of Marc Bolan with Steve Took. What makes this one extra
special is that they were supported by the legendary John
Peel [an early sponsor of the band] & Marc's good ex-Mod mate
DAVID BOWIE appearing as a Mime, with Vytas
Serelis supporting on Sitar. The programme itself, apart from the
photographic centrespread, is mainly devoted to Marc's lyrics. The last
page features an advert for the poetry book 'Warlock Of Love' on the
inside leaf and for the band's two albums & new single 'Pewter Suitor'
on the back. Rare enough in itself, this programme has been
AUTOGRAPHED inside by Marc Bolan & David
Bowie. Bowie has also written 'To Judy' above his autograph, as
this was collected on behalf of a thirteen year old girl by no less a
personage than Keith Emerson, as a favour to someone that
worked & was friends with his Dad. This is the incredible story that we
were told as to its origin. In addition it has also been autographed by
the late, great, John Peel & Sitar player Vytas
Serelis inside. Free from any major flaws, this is also in lovely
condition for a paper goods item of this age. Unique!)
