  • My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows is the debut album by the British rock band Tyrannosaurus Rex (later known as T. Rex) and was 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. The album's music is much influenced by Tyrannosaurus Rex' psychedelic contemporaries, and marks, for Bolan, a rejection of the electric guitar–led freakbeat music he'd been playing with his previous band, John's Children. The album was recorded at Advision Studios in London in early 1968. Advision was the first studio in the U.K. with eight-channel recording equipment. This Advision eight-channel machine was a model 280 made by Scully Recording Instruments. It allowed for far greater recording flexibility than the standard 4-track recorders of the era. 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 in 1972 as the double album Tyrannosaurus Rex: A Beginning, following the success of T-Rex's Electric Warrior (1971) and The Slider (1972). In 1985 it was re-released on Sierra Records (Replay series) FEDB 5013.

  • My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows est le premier album du groupe de rock Tyrannosaurus Rex (plus tard connu sous le nom de T. Rex), sorti en 1968. Bolan est en totale rupture avec la musique de son groupe précédent, John's Children, qui privilégiait la guitare électrique. Les musiciens ne sont que deux, mais la variété des percussions rompt la monotonie. Le jeu de Bolan est mélodique mais souvent tranchant, alternant périodes calmes et agitées, de durée variable, aussi bien au chant qu'à la guitare. Les percussions sont omniprésentes, mais le jeu n'est pas agressif, et elles remplacent la batterie. Le chant est souvent associé à des choeurs fredonnés. Frowning Atahuallpa comprend des chants Hare Krishna. Puis, dans le même morceau, on entend parler le disc jockey John Peel, qui lit une histoire écrite par Bolan, pendant quelques secondes, puis la musique reprend pendant environ quarante secondes. Les dernières paroles de Bolan sont celles du titre de l'album. D'autres enregistrements de Mustang Ford et Hot Rod Mama (concert de John's Children) existent.
