Visconti, Bolan's girlfriend Gloria Jones and their son Rolan. The
revised version also features archive from Marc's friend and earliest
media supporter, John Peel.

rock superstardom at the helm of T. Rex.
Eyewitness to History: Tony Kings 60s
Legendary music publicist Tony King shares his memories of the 1960s,
when he worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, Phil
Spector and others.
A personal look at this sensational decade,
Tony was at the centre of the Swinging 60s in London, and brings it to
life with his stories. There are tales of iconic musicians but there are
also memories of the everyday, of paying £2 a week to rent a flat in
Fulham, having to sneak into Vidal Sassoon after dark to have his hair
cut by a women's stylist, and how difficult it was to go to the cinema
with Brenda Lee. He also remembers the impact fashion and drugs had on
the world at large.
