Magical times ⭐️
@jackellyreed@FatOldAnarchist@NotoldNOJE I made the mistake of bringing Marc to this gig - while we were at the show, fans wrote on the car with lipstick, they’d taken everything takeable including hubcaps. Hubcap star halo.

📊 CHART ENTRY — APRIL 9, 1977
T. Rex — Dandy in the Underworld
Marc Bolan’s final studio album made its chart debut on April 9 1977, entering the Official UK Albums Chart at No. 26 — a late‑period resurgence that critics immediately recognised as a creative turning point. Arriving in the middle of the punk explosion, Dandy in the Underworld cut through the noise with sharpened songwriting, emotional candour, and a renewed sense of purpose.
📊Its three‑week chart run — 26 → 60 → 48 — reflected a loyal fanbase rallying behind Bolan’s strongest work in years. While brief, the trajectory captured a moment of genuine artistic revival, one that hinted at a new chapter tragically cut short just six months later.
A poignant final ascent for a glam‑rock originator rediscovering his spark.

@GlamRockMarc Marc & I came up with the idea of making the gigs with a top price of 12 shillings. It meant that more people could come. And they did!
