It was notable for being the first album on which Bolan used electric guitar, although that instrument had first appeared on the band&#8217;s 1969 single &#8220;King of the Rumbling Spires&#8221;\/&#8221;Do You Remember&#8221;. According to Mark Deming of AllMusic, <strong>A Beard of Stars<\/strong> &#8220;was the turning point where Marc Bolan began evolving from an unrepentant hippie into the full-on swaggering rock star he would be within a couple of years, though for those not familiar with his previous work, it still sounds like the work of a man with his mind plugged into the age of lysergic enchantment&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Four tracks from this album, including &#8220;Great Horse&#8221;, were salvaged from spring 1969 sessions for a fourth album with original percussionist Steve Peregrin Took in the wake of &#8220;King of the Rumbling Spires&#8221;. These four tracks were overdubbed for release by Finn, Bolan and Visconti. A further four tracks from the Took sessions \u2013 rejected for the final album \u2013 subsequently surfaced on various compilations, three (&#8220;Once Upon the Seas of Abyssinia&#8221;, &#8220;Blessed Wild Apple Girl&#8221;, &#8220;Demon Queen&#8221;) in Bolan&#8217;s lifetime, the fourth (&#8220;Ill Starred Man&#8221;) posthumously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Beard of Stars is the fourth studio album by English psychedelic folk band Tyrannosaurus Rex, and their last before changing their name to T.
