Mighty Mac

Resumen del libro

Apart from some well overdue recognition from the British Music Industry for his valuable contribution to popular music, I can't believe how long Marc Bolan fans have had to wait for some sort of worthwhile DVD release. Other than the occasional 'dodgy' fan club releases, official releases such as Born to Boogie and the MARC shows here, have only started to appear recently. However, it has been worth the wait. The beautifully restored 'Born to Boogie' was a real treat and hopefully should be enough to prove to the majority of 'musically intelligent' people how ahead of the game he was compared with the other 'cash-in' artists of the time. The MARC shows will not disappoint either. I am puzzled because Marc's career was far from decline as has been suggested. In fact it was well on the rise again after the fantastic 'Dandy in the Underworld' album, which was when this series first appeared on our screens. With a successful career under his belt Marc was, in fact, a highly respected artist by then and could have picked just about anyone to appear on this show with him. Instead he wisely decided to give some then' unknown bands a chance, such as Generation X and Boomtown Rats.
