T. Rex: An Acetate Recording Of The Single Get It On/There Was A Time/Raw Ramp,1971, double-sided 7inch disc, Apple Custom Recording labels with typewritten recording details, A-side label also inscribed in blue ballpoint by Marc Bolan, to John X July 2nd, in plain die-cut card sleeve with John Peel's handwritten band name to cornerFootnotes'Get It On' was another departure from Bolan's more acoustic, underground sound which had appealed to John in the late 1960's, but the dedication is recognition of the influence Peel had in promoting Bolan as a solo artist and with Tyrannosaurus Rex. The single topped the UK charts for four weeks, and was also a top 10 hit in the US Billboard charts. John Peel had been a long-time champion and friend of Marc Bolan, but this single was, sadly, to cause a rift between the two of them after Peel had broadcast his lack of enthusiasm for it. Apparently, they spoke only once more before Bolan's death in 1977.
