But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows is the debut album by British rock band Tyrannosaurus Rex (later known as T. Rex), released in 1968. The record features Marc Bolan on vocals and guitars, and Steve Peregrine Took on backing vocals, drums, pixiephone, and percussion. It also features disc jockey John Peel, who reads a Bolan-penned fairytale for the album's closing track, "Frowning Atahuallpa (My Inca Love)," which includes what must be one of the earliest "Hare Krishna" chants on a British pop record (two years before George Harrison's My Sweet Lord). The album's music is much influenced by Tyrannosaurus Rex' psychedelic contemporaries, and marks, for Bolan, a rejection of the electric guitarled freakbeat music he'd been playing with his previous band, John's Children. Recordings of the songs "Mustang Ford" (single release, titled "Go Go Girl") and "Hot Rod Mama" (live) by John's Children exist. This album was paired with "Prophets, Seers & Sages - The Angels Of The Ages" (1968) and released as the double album: Tyrannosaurus Rex: A Beginning" on A&M #3514 in 1972 after the success of T-Rex's "Electric Warrior" (1971) & "The Slider" (1972). All tracks written by Marc Bolan Side 1 Side 2 There is also a short, unlisted title track at the end of side two. ...http: //booksllc.net/?id=5026140
