*DATSUNS DO T REX*
a Letter from Wolfgang (IMHO the #1 Bolan collector of all time)!!
'Get It On' from the American TV-Series'Midnight Special',
date: 03.09.73. That for me the best live version of 'Get It On'
which I know.
It seems there is a UK version and USA one so you have to do some searching yourselves
for the one with T.Rex (photo below of UK version)
WE are looking into it and wrote them it appears to me (Rick) that this site list only some of the bands on the DVD and T.Rex is indeed on it -as the scan of the back cover clearly shows-
"Midnight Special DVD"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Picture of one of the few remaining people from the REAL Bolan inner circle Mick Gray (Personal Assistant & Road manager & Friend 72-76)-In the Film Born to Boogie DVD ends with Mick and Marc skipping along during the credits. The Picture is MICK GRAY during a Sound Check. Sadly some of the people trying to re-write the facts of Life with Marc are doing all they can to tarnish his name (You know the ones "Marc was not human his was PERFECT lets not keep true history lets make Sci-Fi" ) Mick a main contributor to the largest selling Bolan Book by Mark Paytress it is obvious the majority of fans and researchers want the truth and not some made up stories from people that were nothing more then one of the many of us screaming YOUNG fans at the time who have now decided to rise themselves to the writers of what happened during Marc's lifetime
-SAD REALLY !! AS Tony V said "its all History now lets TRY and keep it Factual"
A Grand time was had by all but we received quite a few complaints over the site of the London Bop
(nothing to do with organizers) But sadly it appears Klub Extreme has changed hands and is close to a DUMP now. Toilets the patrons wouldn't/'couldn't use, beer/soda soaked floors quite a few people lefgt there and met up in another Pub - let Hope next years BIG anniversary will be moved to a Club befiting Marc Bolan and his Fans!! (info on the event below)
The London bop
Klub Extreme,
Golders Green,
London.

Doors open 7pm !
============================
*SEPTEMBER 2006*
Starting at 7pm there will be five hours of glorious Marc music for you to bop till you drop.
As always there will be the customary Birmingham Bop raffle. There will again be a selection of stalls selling Marc Bolan merchandise.
CD's, vinyl, posters and period memorabilia will all be available to tease and tempt. All profits from the evening will go to Cancer Research and the PDSA.
This years convention will be held at The Aston Social Club which is literally next to the Aston Event Centre (where all the previous Birmingham Conventions have been held). There is ample free car parking available at the club.
Tickets are now available at £6 each (plus a SAE). Please send cheque(s) made payable to Michael Green to 10 Braunston Lane, Staverton, Northants NN11 6JG.

In addition, anyone buying an advance ticket for this years convention and then buying an advance ticket next year will receive a very special 'thank you' present at the 2007 convention.

**Update On New Bolan TV/DVD*
HAPPY NEW YEAR sorry for the delays in the whats new section, most of the new info is placed on the front page or within the site (time is not on my side ;-)like it use to be. I can not leave this fantastic news too long, On North American T.V.(as well as in movie theater trailers)
is a new Coca Cola Advert that is just brilliant using Marc's "SLIDER" as the music to promote this major product, FINALLY my wish has come true, Marc's music on a major advert and the song chosen is one never used before (it reminds me of the classic advert for Ketchup that used Carly Simons "Anticipation" )
New Marc Bolan Book was released in Novemember "From Beneath The Wizard's Gown (Un-Glittered)"
a Nice treat we all know Marc was a Big Elvis Presley Fan but thanks to a Tiller we have captured in audio interview(radio) Marc discussing Elvis and his influence, N'JOY!! -its ALL FREE here -
The longtime attitude of so many Bolan Fans "Let's SHARE" seems to be what most fans appreciate
- speaking of Free Mp3's we are VERY close to bringing back our ENTIRE Bolan Mp3 & Video section which of course will also continue to grow - this is full of marc insight for it's short timing (2 minutes)
I must saye the reviews on the lists (including Till Dawn) were amazingly Positive & came across as one of the Rocking'ist Bops in years -So Bows go out to the "JEEPSTER BAND" (Marc Joy everso pleased to see the band take off as it has),a surprise Duet with "Delf & Vinny"(from Rolans Band) On "Elemental Childe", as well as the Brill D.J. Terry
Remixer and producer "tone396" has featured extensively on radio and music television channels around the world. early mixes as ultra396 brought him to the attention of the makers of MTV’s Mash show who commissioned the production of 5 exclusive mixes (snippet from site) Well one of those songs is a re-mix of "Get It On" (a winner -IMHO-) you can download the song for free and get more info from his site -N'JOY

SAD NEWS: It has been reported today (Oct.25 04') That the man the helped put Marc into almost all our hearts "JOHN PEEL" has died 1939-2004 "he too is in our hearts & within the flowers & trees"

A Tiller Member and one of the main sources for the research into the upcoming Bolan U.K. Documentery
"BOLAN'S MISSING MILLIONS" Micky Gray (Marc's Roadie from 71-76) has just informed us he has been contacted by the Producer of the Show & it will be airing on September 20th at 9:00 pm On Channel 4 (U.K). A quick Bow to Mick Gray for all the work he has done/is doing for Marc's legacy and how freely he shares
with the Till Dawn list the "Facts"!! of those years not some second Hand info by second hand people. He is assuring that Marc's legacy will not turn into "fiction" written by people that weren't there, a fear shared by Tony Visonti to me years back when we realized how vital the net was going to become for Marc's Fan's.

GOLDMINE Magazine has once again Placed Marc on their cover (The last was in 96' with a Majestic Picture of Marc wearing a Crown) This time the picture is not up to their usually quality but hard to complain when Marc's face is honored with the cover shot.

Released September 5th /issue Vol 29 # 18 Issue 603(picture on right)

**A TEAR for another HIGH STAR **
I applaud all those that backed Mickey through the years and went to his shows as well as him granting TILL DAWN an Exclusive interview a few years back. I Highlight of our list as Mickey was a reserved man, though I applaud Tiller George Rabb for putting togther the "Bolanfest 2000" it was a time you can see Mickey was truly happy -not cause he was shining but cause his stories and Love for Marc was able to be shown. Go to the BolanFest section to see some Lovely and candid picture of Mickey.
Such a joy to know after the past 15 years of having no interest shown in him, the advent of the Net that Mickey got to see and hear how much he was still in our hearts and from there he went to the memorial Anniversary and was embraced by so many people which than lead to him deciding to give the T.Rex Fans a little bit of nostalgia by creatin his own Mickey Finn's T.Rex band (for the nay-sayers for the record -from a most relaible source Mickey was entitled to the name T.Rex as Much as Marc was (it was legally the two of them). Granted he wasn't Marc but his image and presence and beautifuil music that HE created on the Brown LP and Beard of Stars (for those that thought his contributation was nothing compared to Steve Tooks that these two LP's are usually most Fans favorites speaks for itself)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**We were just informed - and quite chuffed- to hear Rick/ the TILL DAWN /TOMB site was mentioned in the new re-issue of Mark Paytress's (to some the "Bolan Bible") "20th Century Boy" Book Thanks Mark for recognizing the T.O.M.B. It has been mentioned in other Fanzines but your stamp of approval is quite nice- It is not an easy site to run and we all are quite proud of it:
"Apart from typing 'marc' and 'Bolan' into a search engine, your first port of call on the internet should be http://www.tilldawn.net/tomb.html ,which provides a clear and comprehensive guide to what happens and where"
The book went to print before we changed to our own domain name but the link included will re-direct you here.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary Cliff McLenehan's "Marc Bolan 1947-1977 a Chronology" much celebrated book has been "Updated/Re-vised" and is also available now as a Soft cover Book at a reduced price. Considering the wealth of new information it should cost more than the first issue. The first edition was a MUST have this new edition is a Must have for all Bolan Fans (even those that have the first one) to quote a piece of a review of the book by "record collector" magazine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3- A true joy to announce here for the first time that MICHEL LAVERDIERE (the man behind the much celebrated and endorsed by Tony Visconti CD "Beltane") has shared with the Till Dawn list his deeply moving impressions brought on by Marc's music (song by song) Knowing this was too special to just be shared within our list he has worked -again for Marc's legacy- by turning his thoughts and thought provoking words into a new site. It is Not to be missed - thank you Michel for just following your heart and the positive path that we try to create here where Marc's leagcy is respected and honored
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4- Well after 7 years on June 1st I can proudly say we took the step to our own DOMAIN name and Link. I want to personally thank Christin owner of the old marc-bolan.net domain for holding on to it in wait for a year for us to make the move. In the end we decided to let her just release it, we are of course a Marc Bolan site but one that is not looking to confuse people into thinking we, in any way, have a "ownership" of Marc's name or Legacy. We are the Till Dawn/List Site still thriving unabated for all these years, so in the end (IMHO) it was best to stick with our name and just keep doing what we do - Spread the Name, music, factual Legacy of the man we were so touched by- His Name is Marc Bolan -we are Till Dawn ;-). Most of the old pages will re-direct you to the new
Till Dawn Org.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5- A Personal plead from Till Dawn to the people that run other Bolan factions/clubs/sites *remember we are all here because of our love of Marc!!
Well work is just begining on the follow-up to our critically successful "Tiller-Rex Band" Tribute CD we are hoping to have it ready for Marc's 25/55, this time it will probably be an EP.. Hi! My name is Rick Dalvano a.k.a
"Rickster"... I am the list owner and manager of the Global Till Dawn mailing
list/organization/site- A list that celebrates the life and music of Marc Bolan & T. Rex * More Info added below* As this main page has pointed out for over 9 years now the TILL DAWN list is a "Limited" list. This is a request by myself & the rest of the list so to keep the spirit alive in a community minded waye- if you are or have been on the waiting list I am sure as "True" Marc Bolan fans you will understand the reasoning behind this -I think we do Marc's legacy proud by forging deep personal friendships here all spurred on by his memory- I can't think of a better way to show the world how by our actions we keep the spirit of Marc alive in a positive and friendly way! If you are not inclined to waiting feel free to join the Slider or trex list's. Till Dawn was
created by Russ Thomas and myself in mid '96. Till Dawn was born as a private
list, to offer a small oasis for some of the fans that have been around since "back
in the 70's". . . (ok, ok, that's just a nice way to say we're getting old!) There
are so many lists out there that flounder for want of a sensible, flexible and open
attitude toward its members - we just wanted to create the right mood. . . and that takes
good management! The generosity and devotion of our members is our only way of knowing that whatever it is we are doing- we are doing "right" .I hope that it is a reflection of the vibe created here. From day one it was built on trust and extending our hands in friendship (not division) to all people. We created a "community" (not an easy task) With approx. 140 members (and
a waiting list ) spread over the entire globe none of us are "All Alone"
for very long! Some of our member's musical knowledge would astound you - some are
well known musicians and authors, others can tell personal stories about meeting Marc and
T.REX while others spread their web related skills over the world to help bring Marc &
T.REX to yet more people. But don't think we're all old fogies at Till
Dawn... far from it! Ages range from 19 to... well, you get the idea. And of course, the
future of Marc's music can only rest with the newer fans ..as the current success of "Bus Stop's Rap/remix of "G.I.O" has shown us! So if you only found
Marc recently, don't think you aren't welcome... If your heart is truely in keeping Marcs
legacy alive anyone is welcome. We do keep the list limited in size so we can keep the
intimacy that tends to get lost in larger lists. So be patient if you have placed a
subscription in. We wish all Bolan related lists much success -Our goals are all the same we just have different appouches (variety is the spice of life) Here almost as important as Marc is our disire to "Really" capture what I/we feel is Marc's "essence" this being "Harmony" our souls connecting ona plane that only a true Bolan fan could appreciate*s bonding with other members seeems to come quite naturally here till the friendships begin trancending Marc.I/we take Marc's words "Don't every worry cos' I'm your friend" quite literally. Our gatherings are proof of this...Positive Vibes can be an amazing thing
Don't be surprised if you start thinking of
Till Dawn as home or sending huge gifts halfway round the world via air-mail..we DO.
There are so many people that need to be thanked for helping to make the list the warm
"cave" it is. I must thank Simes, David, Dan, Karen, Debora, Stew, Michel, Cliff, Jorgen, Gerry, Pierre, MarcO, Sage,
(to name but a few) for their loyality and love & keeping the vibe just right.. "Here at Till Dawn we talk as much about
Marc "The Man" as we do ,Marc "The Musician". Researched and
written by Yours
We had/have several Tiller Gatherings including a "Tiller World Tour" and the "Feather in Our Cap" that will alwayes be held close to our hearts was our Dear Karen's post regarding the state of the Tree which started in motion a Bolan Wide movement to keep and maintain the area around the "Barnes Tree" in the manner it deserves, What started as our simple "Bulp/Flower" project has now taken on a life of its own - The simplicity of those beginning dayes are still represented here, on the web we
have chat rooms, a BBS and of course this, the Till Dawn Website! Also the year 2000 I think has ushered in a new desire by all the various Bolan factions to turn the 21st Century into one of joining hands and in keeping with this spirit the jumping point was the "BOLANFEST 2000" get together put together by George Rab. It seems quite a test lets hope Marc's love keeps negativity at bay.
