A Beard of Stars

The fourth and final Tyrannosaurus Rex album, originally released by Regal Zonophone in the UK in 1970. Took was replaced on this album by Micky Finn (backing vocals, Moroccan Clay Drums, table, bass, finger cymbals). and Bolan introduced electric guitar to their sound for the first time. Finn's theory on bongo fury was a lot less inspired than Took's and Bolan's songwriting/singing seemed to aim more squarely at the anthemic/glam protocol that was soon to emerge. But this was the final chapter in Tyrannosaurus Rex, T. Rex was next.
