Today would have been the late Marc Bolan’s 78th birthday, and it’s being marked by the unveiling of some previously unreleased T. Rex music. “I’m Dazed” was originally laid to tape in March 1975 at Paris’ Château d’Hérouville, but this version out today was recorded at Munich’s Musicland Studios on April 22, 1975, notes Uncut. Produced by Bolan and engineered by Reinhold Mack, the song features T. Rex’s classic lineup: Bolan, Steve Currie, Gloria Jones, Davey Lutton, and Dino Dines. Listen to it below.

“I’m Dazed” is the latest in a long run of special T. Rex releases, compilations, reissues, and box sets that Bolan’s estate and business entities have shared over the past years. Earlier today, English Heritage also commemorated Bolan’s birthday by installing a blue plaque at his former home in London.

Back in 2020, T. Rex were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Ringo Starr, who called Bolan “a poet.” Following Starr’s speech, the induction ceremony included a video featuring remarks from Billy Idol and Joan Jett, as well as archival footage of Tony Visconti, Elton John, David Bowie, and John Lydon praising the band.
