Corkscrew hair and a leopard skin jumpsuit

Well, it must be the bopping elf himself, Marc Bolan (you all knew that of course).

I got the new DVD this evening, his bits from his series in '77 called simply 'Marc'. This was clearly his attempt to get back into the groove and start having hits again, lots of posing and pouting, tossing his corkscrew hair and playing the guitar hero for all it's worth. It's great to see him again and it's a shame his 'comeback' was so short - it would've been interesting to see how he would have fared in the 'punk wars' that were to come.

When he first played 'Celebrate Summer' (it's on the DVD several times as his latest release at the time) I exclaimed out loud when he sings the refrain, 'Summer is heaven in '77'. I've got no doubt that he's looking well cool up there right now!

O yes, but only on one track - it's Marc's best bits after all.

The extras are his performances on 'Supersonic' - remember that?
