More Info

Over the past couple of years, the Alternative Singles vinyl issues have become highly popular amongst fans with different recordings of each single and sometimes tracks that weren’t actually singles at the time being issued as such

Most of the recordings are taken from Overseas Broadcast, Rehearsal sessions, discarded mixes and unused demos versions but all of them fascinating

Here we have gathered together all the A & B sides plus some extra bonus tracks

Presented in a deluxe gatefold card sleeve with full colour booklet

All artist royalties go to the Light of Love Foundation for the Marc Bolan School of Music & Film.
