BBC Recordings

There are about sixty songs that Bolan recorded and broadcast on the BBC between 1967 and 1971. On 17 November 1969 he did a session for Top Gear featuring songs from Beard of Stars. The tracks played were

• Fist Heart Mighty Dawn Dart

(Top Gear was a radio show known for its specially recorded sessions in addition to playing records. It began life in 1964 and was revived with a progressive rock focus in 1967, running with that format until its end in 1975. Latterly John Peel was the presenter.)

Then on New Years Day 1970 he did a live session at the Paris Theatre, performing

• Pavilions Of Sun
• Dove
• By The Light Of The Magical Moon
• Elemental Child

He also did Elemental Child on Top Gear on 26 October 1970 and in the Paris Theatre on 10 December of the same year.
