Pavilions of Sun Live
Tyrannosaurus Rex were among the acts at the Kralinger Pop Festival in Holland, sometimes called the Stamping Ground or the Dutch Woodstock. They played By the Light of the Magical Moon and Pavilions of Sun. The latter is here in audio - here. A film of the concert can be found here where BTLOTMM features (Note video contains nudity, etc).
Woodland Bop on a Single
In March 1972, in the wake of the success of T Rex, Fly Records released a four track single or EP that had Debora (sic) backed with One Inch Rock, Woodland Bop and Seal of Seasons, these three chosen no doubt for their brevity. Woodland Bop is taken from Beard of Stars. It was part of set of such releases called MagniFlys and featuring The Move, Joe Coker, Procol Harum, etc.
