Of all the performers and musicians who grew out of the 1960s British counterculture only Marc Bolan achieved the type of salacious superstardom that so many of his contemporaries equally yearned for but never achieved. It is often forgotten just how enormous Bolan was during the early 1970s but with the possible exception of David Bowie a couple of years later it was the man christened Mark Feld who most succinctly crossed enough boundaries to become the favoured artist for both the record buying public at large and the serious critics alike during the first half of the 1970s. This two disc set features a fascinating documentary film tracing the life and career of Marc Bolan from his days as a Mod in mid 1960s London to the day he so sadly passed away at the age of just 28 following a horrific car accident in 1977.

Presented in documentary style with plenty of rare and previously unseen Elvis footage, exclusive interviews with those who were with The King during his final days (such as members of the 'Memphis Mafia', other friends and colleagues and his spiritual advisor) news clips, archive interviews with the man himself and numerous other features to make, in completion, the finest film yet on this part of Elvis Presley's life.
