“Prophets, Seers & Sages” arrived in October ’68, just 3 months after their debut LP had been released. They had much to offer, and no time to waste. Once again Marc Bolan is on vocals and guitar whilst Steve Peregrin Took takes care of bongos, African drums, kazoo, pixiphone and Chinese gong. Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s the greatest LP ever made to feature the kazoo, the pixiphone and the Chinese gong. Kicking things off, the debut single “Debora” is revisited, altered here by a reversed-tape effect, hence the new forward-reverse title of “Deboraarobed”. Clever, eh? Once again, Marc’s astonishing, trembling vocals are a pure treat; melodic, expressive and chock-full of character. You’d like to think Tyrannosaurus Rex were a breath of fresh air for the blues rockers of the day but in truth, they were underground cult heroes to hipsters and scenesters only. John Peel’s listener-ship were on-board. Obviously.
