On this day, 10 June 1972, glam rock superstar Marc Bolan and band T.Rex played Cardiff’s Capitol Theatre, with support provided by Quiver.

1970 to 1973, T. Rex encountered a popularity in the UK comparable to that of the Beatles, with a run of eleven singles in the UK top ten.

They scored four UK number one hits, "Hot Love", "Get It On", "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru".

The band's 1971 album Electric Warrior received critical acclaim as a pioneering glam rock album: it reached number 1 in the UK.


Bolan was about to release his seventh album, the third under the name T.Rex.

Slider produced by Tony Visconti included the two hit singles, "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru"
