Marc Feld acetate side 1. Mrs. Jones - Marc Feld ??? Side 2. Knoxville Girl - The James Boys Recorded at Joe Meek's recording studio, 304 Holloway Road, London. :NOTE: It has NEVER been confirmed that this is Marc Sorry no link to the recording is available	1963 double-sided EMIDISC Acetate
Toby Tyler (Riggs) (Marc Feld) acetates Side 1 - The Road I'm On (Gloria) Side 2 - Blowin' In The Wind Recorded at Vic Keary's Maximum Sound Studios, 47 Dean Street, Soho, London. :Note: The typed "Marc Feld" was struck through in pen and "Toby Tyler" written over. The word "Riggs" also struck through, at the bottom of the labels was a name Marc considered using before settling on Toby Tyler. Riggs was the first name of Riggs O'Hara an actor that Marc shared a flat with for a short period of time. Also sharing the flat was another actor called James Bolam. It doesn't seem a too far fetched idea to think Marc borrowed the name Bolam and replaced to "m" with an "n" considering he was happy to borrow the name Riggs. Although an alternative idea was that Marc borrowed "Bo" and "lan" from Bob Dylan. Listen to Blowin' In The Wind	1964 double-sided EMIDISC Acetate
Toby Tyler acetate Side 1 - The Road I'm On (Gloria) There are three known acetates of these recordings, 2 double-sided acetates (1 set above) and one single-sided acetate.

Marc/k Bolan acetates The Wizard Beyond The Risin' Sun That's The Bag I'm In Produced by Jim Economides Recorded at Decca Studios, Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London. The Wizard has an original publication date of 9th October 1965. This acetate has two editions of the song The Wizard on the "A" side, one slightly louder than the other. "Beyond The Risin' Sun" is written down as "Beyond The Sun" by Mark Bolan. The 10" acetate with the white sticker sold at auction for £397 on the 18th May 2009 The 10" acetate with the number 023 sold at auction for £1200 on the 6th August 2013	14th Sept. 1965 Single-sided Decca Acetates Sorry no pictures of the "That's The Bag I'm In" acetate as yet The Wizard "A" side and blank "B" side labels Beyond The Risin' Sun "A" side label (2 copies)

Side 1 - The Wizard Produced by Jim Economides Recorded at Decca Studios, Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London. This has a release date of 29th October, so I'm wondering if the initial The Wizard acetate above is dated 29th rather than 9th, with the "2" mistakenly replaced by a "-". Notice that this acetate has the same author as the Hippy Gumbo and Jasper C. Debussy SPOT acetates of August 1967.	Sept. 1965 Single-sided EMIdisc Acetate
Side 1 - The Wizard Side 2 - Beyond The Risin' Sun Produced by Jim Economides Recorded at Decca Studios, Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London. :NOTE: Marc had around this time been using umlauts over the "O" in his name. Early in the production process Marc saw the demo and asked to have the umlauts added. It was agreed, but labels without the umlauts had already been printed. So on some "A" sides it can be seen, and on some "B" sides it can be seen. I have not seen a single that has it on both sides but more than likely there will be some floating around. Listen to The Wizard Listen to Beyond The Risin' Sun Pictures 3 and 4 shows the single with umlauts on side 2 only Pictures 5 and 6 shows the single with umlauts on side 1 only Pictures 7 and 8 are of the demonstration sample (promo to you and me). Here's a demo copy that is missing the track information on side 1 Here's a demo copy that is missing the track information on both sides Pictures 13 and 14 are of the solid centred version of the standard single. This was produced in 1981 or 82 I believe, as no solid centre ever left the factory in 1965. For whatever reason all copies seem to have two small nicks in the outer rim of the labels. Seen here at 1:30 and 2:45 on side 1, and at 8:45 and 7:15 on side 2 but always the same distance apart on all copies. The print won't correspond to the nicks, i.e. another copy may have the nicks at Noon and 1:30 or any variation thereof. It was also produced in several different colours of vinyl, black, orange and transparent/clear. (1981 REPRO) >>>>>>>>>>>>> Please be aware if buying a copy of this single on Ebay or similar, there is an almost identical repro being sold lately. This repro was manufactured in 2008 as part of a box set and is identical in most ways. The only obvious difference that is plainly visible is the wrong font used and the lack of the push-out centre. What looks like the push-out is actually solid plastic coloured white to appear like slots.

Sylvie Vartan single Side 1. Il Y A Deux Filles En Moi Side 2. Il Faut Trouver Son Coin De Ciel (Beyon' The Rising Sun) One of, if not the first, official cover version of a Marc Bolan song to be released and only 9 months after Marc himself released it. Marc must have been buzzin when he heard that Sylvie wanted to record one of his songs. Odd that it was a hardly heard B side that was chosen to be covered.

I bought it recently with only "made in the 90's" as a clue. This page from the weekly 'Disc And Music Echo' dated 27th April 1968 states Deborah will be "out tomorrow".
