T. Rex – My People Were Fair And Had Sky In Their Hair But Now They’re Content To Wear Stars On Their Brows

My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair… But Now They’re Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows is the debut album by British rock band Tyrannosaurus Rex (later known as T. Rex), released in 1968. The record features Marc Bolan on vocals and guitars, and Steve Peregrin Took on backing vocals, drums, pixiephone, and percussion. It also features DJ John Peel, who reads a Bolan-penned fairytale for the album’s closing track, "Frowning Atahuallpa" which includes what must be one of the earliest hare krishna chants on british pop record. The album is much influenced by Tyrannosaurus Rexs’ psychedelic contemporaries and marks for Bolan a rejection of the electric-guitar led freakbeat music he had been playing with his previous band Johns’ Children.
