  • The videos for Buick MacKane and Children of the Revolution were filmed on the same day - probably in October 1972 in London, although it is unclear for what purpose they were made. In both videos Marc is using his newly-acquired Veleno custom aluminium guitar.
    Featuring the classic T.Rex line-up of Marc Bolan, Mickey Finn, Steve Currie and Bill Legend, Buick MacKane was a favourite track from The Slider album (released 21 July 1972), while the anthemic Children of the Revolution was the third single on Bolan’s T.Rex label, released 8 September 1972 and reaching number two in the top 40. It is one of Bolan’s most enduring songs and the title phrase is frequently referenced in the English language.

    I'm 66 and been a fan since 1970 Ride a white swan, and when I hear a T.REX song on the radio, TV the hairs on the back of my neck still stick up. Bolan got me good and proper, and I've passed it on to my grandson he loves it

    Rok 1974, wtedy usłyszałem ten nieśmiertelny utwór. Marc Bolan odszedł a ja ciągle wracam do tego tekstu i muzyki. Fajnie było mieć wtedy 16 lat i z ulicy Wiślanej, udając się na Mariensztat i Starówkę w Warszawie, nucić z radoscią tą piosenkę. Ach to był piękny i odkrywczy czas.
