Tyrannosaurus Rex started in London, England in 1967 as a five-piece (after one aborted gig), but quickly became a duo having their electric equipment repossessed . Hailed by John Peel ( who narrated two fairy stories on two of their albums) and produced by Tony Visconti, their albums explored a psychedelic folk sound and themes inspired by Tolkienesque and Celtic mythologies. The duo developed a distinctive sound including Bolan's acoustic guitar and vocals and Steve Peregrine Took on bongos, drums and unorthodox instruments such as the Pixiephone.
