EARLIEST BOLAN RECORDING UNEARTHED!
MARC'S MAGIC CLIFF MOMENT REVEALED AT LAST. BY MARK PAYTRESS
The imminent release of the earliest known studio recording by Marc Bolan reveals that his first musical inspiration was none other than Cliff Richard. Titled All At Once, and recorded at IBC in London on August 28, 1964, the sugary pop ballad finds the glam rock hero in youthful Cliff-croon mode. Suggestions that Bolan- then 16-year old mark Feld- had been a closet fan of "the British Elvis" are not new. His pal Jeff Dexter recalled that having seen Summer Holiday in 1963, his teenage pal declared: "I'm gonna sing like and be as big as Cliff Richard!"
The tape was unearthed by Danielz, the frontman of T. Rex tribute band T. Rextasy. "In 1993, this guy who called himself Geoffrey Delaroy-Hall got in contact," he says. "He told me that he'd been Marc's manager, and invited me to visit him in Yorkshire."
During the course of the day's visit, the "well-spoken and ultra-camp" Delaroy-Hall constantly referred to Bolan as "the little shit", and it became quite obvious that his claim was no con. "in the early days, Marc had a string of gay managers who aided and abetted him," Danielz says, "but if nothing was happening in his career, he'd dump them." Delaryoy-Hall, a World War II Spitfire pilot who'd met Marc at a West End Party, was one of the first.
The ageing barrister still had in his possession a sheaf of large photographs, a contract signed by Bolan's parents, and, in a bureau, an IBC recording studios tape box. "It's no good to me, you can have it," he told his guest. Danielz played it and immediately knew he was in possession of something significant. "It's 100 percent genuine and 100 percent studio quality."
However, there is still confusion over the credits, Daneilz adds. "Geoffrey used many names during his lifetime, and it seems that 'J Mahney' as typed on the tape box, was one of them. And while George Bellamy's name also appears, it's definately not George Bellamy from THe Tornadoes, because I've asked him."
But is All At Once, two takes which appear on 45 in September, any good? "Well, it's a nice song!" Danielz laughs, "It's an amazing find that reveals yet another face in Bolan's early search for his musical identity."
