Looks like early 1970s.
edit: I never knew who the lead singer of T-Rex was until today. And I had no idea he had passed away (and so long ago). Great music!

(21,363 posts)6. I believe, iirc, it was 1972 when the song was first released and the video was made in 1974. nt

(21,761 posts)8. oh... I really want that
I used to have almost all of his albums... As actual albums More shit I lost in the fire, this looks to have a lot of the early stuff though all in one place. Thanks
the first 2 CDs are all of his gentle acoustic stuff.
Then he transforms into TREX.
Great stuff!
