MARC BOLAN - UNRELEASED EP 'LUCILLE' (FIRST STUDIO RECORDING)


MARC BOLAN - UNRELEASED EP 'LUCILLE' (FIRST STUDIO RECORDING - RGJ 196 - WITH PROVENANCE). Remarcable(!) piece of Marc Bolan history with this commercially unreleased (vinyl) 7" EP recording from 1964. Generously consigned by the vendor who recorded the session, which was then pressed by Pye Records in Mitcham, Surrey and mastered by RG Jones in London. The record contains four songs with Lucille and Girl In Green to side 1 and Lonely Avenue and (Baby) I'm Leavin' to side 2. The record is in clean Ex condition showing a few light and minor surface hairline marks, none of which are ever heavier in nature. Matrix: RGJ-196A & RGJ-196B. With detailed letter of provenance from the vendor who states: "The EP is quite unique as it was the first quality studio recording of Marc and technically sounds much better than his following solo acetates made in demo studios with just him and a guitar... I thought maybe it was time for the rest of the World to hear the young 17 year old Marc's early school band efforts from 60 years ago."
