"Till Dawn", was re-recorded for Bolan's Zip Gun with Bolan at the controls. The newly recorded songs were licensed by Neil Bogart who had just set up his Casablanca Records label, together with "Teenage Dream", "Explosive Mouth" and "Venus Loon" from the Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow album. Despite considerable publicity and a US tour, Light of Love did not chart in the US. The reasons are disputed, but it permanently ended Bolan's attempts to gain stardom in the United States' pop market. By this point, Bolan's USA record label Reprise Records had dropped him and he had much difficulty finding a new label to sign him, but eventually signed to Casablanca Records. However, Casablanca was going bankrupt around the time and he couldn't find a label to sign him, resulting in this being the last album of the band's to be released in the US. After its failure he concentrated on the UK again (where his career was to experience a resurgence), the new tracks being re-used for the next UK album Bolan's Zip Gun. UK import sales of the Light of Love album may well have impacted the subsequent relative lack of success of Bolan's Zip Gun. Light of Love was eventually released on CD in the UK in 1995 as part of Edsel Records extensive T. Rex reissue campaign (EDCD 413). Live tracks from the US tour, recorded at the Agora Club in Cleveland, Ohio on 11 November 1974, were released as the bonus disc of the Live 1977 compilation album. (en)
  • Light of Love est un album du groupe de glam rock britannique T. Rex sorti en août 1974. Uniquement sorti aux États-Unis, il réunit trois chansons (Teenage Dream, Explosive Mouth et Venus Loon) parues sur l'album précédent du groupe, Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow, et huit chansons inédites, qui réapparaissent l'année suivante sur Bolan's Zip Gun. L'échec commercial de Light of Love met un terme aux tentatives de Marc Bolan de percer sur le marché américain : les derniers albums de T. Rex ne paraissent pas dans ce pays. (fr)

  • Light Of Love é um álbum de estúdio da banda de rock britânica T. Rex lançado apenas nos Estados Unidos em agosto de 1974. É composto por três faixas lançadas anteriormente no Reino Unido no álbum Zinc Alloy, juntamente com mais oito canções gravadas na primavera de 1974, que mais tarde apareceriam no álbum Bolan's Zip Gun. O álbum foi planejado por Gary Ulmer e, na ausência de Tony Visconti (que havia deixado as funções de produção dos trabalhos da banda), foi produzido pelo próprio Marc Bolan. As músicas recém-gravadas foram licenciadas por Neil Bogart, que acabara de montar sua gravadora Casablanca Records, junto com "Teenage Dream", "Explosive Mouth" e "Venus Loon" do álbum Zinc Alloy. Apesar da publicidade considerável e de uma turnê, Light Of Love não entrou nas paradas norte-americanas. As razões são contestadas, mas acabou definitivamente com as tentativas de Bolan de reconquistar o estrelato no mercado mainstream dos Estados Unidos. A essa altura, a gravadora estadunidense de Bolan, Reprise Records, o demitiu e ele teve muita dificuldade em encontrar uma nova gravadora para contratá-lo, acabando assinando com a Casablanca. No entanto, o Casablanca estava falindo na época e ele não conseguiu encontrar uma gravadora para contratá-lo, resultando neste ser o último álbum da banda a ser lançado nos Estados Unidos. Após o fracasso, ele se concentrou novamente no Reino Unido (onde sua carreira experimentaria um ressurgimento), as novas faixas foram reutilizadas para o próximo álbum. As vendas do álbum no Reino Unido podem muito bem ter impactado a subsequente falta de sucesso do álbum seguinte. (pt)
