For the first time ever we have here a video for ‘Telegram Sam’ which was a UK No.1 smash for in February 1972. On March 18th 1972 played two sell out shows at the Empire Pool Wembley. These were filmed by Ringo Starr and are the bedrock to the film 'Born To Boogie’ which captures Marc Bolan at the height of his fame; it was initially released in December ’72 across UK cinemas. This video is cut from footage of both Wembley shows and has been made to celebrate the re-release of the film on Blu-Ray and DVD in June 2016. . Available in several formats and packages: 2DVD 2CD DELUXE EDITION: The deluxe edition also features the only live concerts filmed on 16mm with a soundtrack recorded to 8- and 16-track, mixed to 5.1 by Tony Visconti, as well as numerous extra features, some previously unreleased, and two CDs of the two concerts. Housed in a beautiful book with new annotation by Mark Paytress and previously unpublished Keith Morris photos (and trays for all four discs), ‘Born To Boogie’ is the ultimate film of Marc Bolan and superstardom in the early 1970s. EXCLUSIVE 2DVD 2CD EDITION: This special limited edition is as above but contains a bonus set of eight reproductions of the original 1972 cinema foyer cards which are exclusive to Amazon. BLU RAY EDITION: On Blu-Ray for the FIRST time! The package also features the full matinee show as well as several extra features in SD. With new annotation by Mark Paytress and previously unpublished Keith Morris photos. 2CD EDITION: Both Wembley Empire Pool shows, in their entirety, from the day in March 1972 that marked the peak of T. Rextasy. Presented in a digipak with a booklet with new annotation by Mark Paytress and previously unpublished Keith Morris photos, several of the songs from the second show (to which Bolan and Tony Visconti added overdubs) have never been issued on CD. DVD EDITION: This single DVD package also features the original theatrical trailer and two bonus features. With new annotation by Mark Paytress and previously unpublished Keith Morris photos. 7“ SINGLE: In the Apple Studios section of the “Born To Boogie” film, Marc Bolan and T. Rex are joined by Ringo Starr on drums and Elton John on piano. Together they perform exclusive versions of the then-unreleased song “Children Of The Revolution”, and a cover of Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti”. Issued on a 7 inch single for the first time ever (with a picture sleeve), they are joined by the original studio recording of “Born To Boogie”, a song not performed in the movie of the same name!
