T. Rex Get It On ( Bang A Gong)
Hey Cats No one knows exactly when this promo film was made, there is no mention of it in the excellent book by Cliff McLenehan A Chronology which is a day by day account of Marc s life Although this was a Uk No. 1 smash in July 1971 it is assumed this promo was made by T. Rex s European label and judging by the confidence of the performance could have been shot during the short European tour of January 1972. In America the song was called Bang A Gong. A video for Jeepster was also shot at the same time and again is amazing. Unlike Hot Love Get It On made it onto the next T. Rex album Electric Warrior released in September 1971. If you only ever buy one T. Rex album make sure it s this one Apart from promo films made by The Beatles and The Stones, T. Rex can probably claim to be the 3rd act ever to make videos This video and Jeepster are now available to buy on the DVD The Fi
