		It was 1969 and as one half of the now-legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex, Steve Peregrine Took achieved national fame alongside his partner Marc Bolan.
		Steve made numerous guest appearances with Hawkwind and during 1972 recorded these tracks in London, released for the first time ever on CD with an all-star line-up of 'Crazy Diamond', Twink and Larry Wallis.
		Steve died on 27 October 1980, a little over 3 years after Bolan was killed in a car accident, the result of choking on a cherry after a cocktail of morphine and magic mushrooms.

	T. Rex (band)
		The band was founded by Marc Bolan in 1967 and gave one performance as a five piece rock band at the Roundhouse[?] before immediately breaking up in disarray.
		Bolan retained the services of Steve Peregrine Took and began producing eccentric pastoral and folk tinged ditties steeped in Tolkienian mythology, spiritual homages to Gene Vincent thrown into the whimsical mix for good measure.
		Peregrine Took left after Unicorn, following a distastrous tour of the US, to be replaced by Mickey Finn.

	CMT.com : Steve Peregrine Took : Biography
		Drummer Steve Took was one half of the duo Tyrranosaurus Rex before a shortened name and a change of musical styles brought its founder
		Yet, drug addiction and bizarre acts of violence onstage, such as whipping himself with a belt until he bled, led Took to fall out of favor with Bolan and, after a 1969 American tour, Took was asked to leave the band.
		Took, who was called the Pete Best of the '70s by insensitive journalists, watched helplessly as T Rex and his old partner Marc Bolan went on to become stars in the U.K. He died in 1980 after choking on a cocktail cherry.

	Marc Bolan/T. Rex
		Bolan's quivering voice and rhythmic guitar-playing were ably supported by Took's frenetic bongos and the sound created was one of the most distinctive of the era.
		Steve Currie (bass) and Bill (Fifield) Legend (drums) formerly of Legend, the Epics and Bateson And Stott, were added to the line-up for Hot Love and Get It On, both of which topped the UK charts, and ELECTRIC WARRIOR, a number 1 album.
		A working unit of Herbie Flowers (bass) and Tony Newman (drums) was formed in the wake of a new recording deal with RCA, but on 16 September 1977, Marc Bolan was killed when the car in which he was a passenger struck a tree.

		Took was a true hippie in every sense of the word, believing very strongly in the “tune in-turn on-drop out” lifestyle.
		Took, high on acid, peeled off all his clothes and began whipping himself with his belt until he bled while on stage.
		He found Took’ successor at Seeds Restaurant, where Tyrannosaurus Rex’s next percussionist was employed as the restaurant’s mural painter.

	Browse by Artist: TYRANNOSAURUS REX
		The group was simply a duo of Marc Bolan (vocals, guitar, ex-John's Children) and Steve Peregrine Took (vocals, bongos, Chinese gong, assorted percussion, Pixiephone) and their music was largely acoustic (exclusively so on the first 2 albums).
		Peaking the UK hippy trip, they wandered through their musical terrain of magic, mystics, elves, witches, with Bolan's ethereal vocals sung in a voice that on occasion could not be proven to have any relation to the English language.
		Took was replaced on this album by Micky Finn (backing vocals, Moroccan Clay Drums, table, bass, finger cymbals).

		Finn replaced original member Steve “Peregrine” Took in 1970 and was with T. Rex until 1975; the period in which they had a number of huge hits, especially in the UK, with “Ride A White Swan,” “Get It On,” “Telegram Sam” and “Children Of The Revolution,” selling nearly 40 million albums.
		Took also died in a car crash just one year later and the next year bass player Steve Currie choked to death.

		I'd already been through his CD collection in the car and the only one I could think of that could fit that was a "Best of T-Rex" CD.
		Apparently in 1971 my Dad stayed in an apartment that a stoner bongo player named Peregrine used to crash at sometimes while he complained that his former friend and bandmate never gave him any credit or money.
		We looked through the CD and even though Peregrine was on the cover all of the songs were from after he left the band.

		Steve Peregrine Took was probably the single most influential person that I ever met, really.
		“Thousands,” replied Steve, and he wasn’t lying, although our idea of a Religious Experience was probably a long way removed from John Peel’s.
		Before we threw in with each other, I’d seen him get onstage to jam with the Fairies, only to be escorted from the stage for being out of it, and believe me, you had to go some to get hooked offa The Fairies stage for being fucked-up.

		If you ever want to listen to his account of it, Steve Took's track on Mick Farren's MONA album is him talking about being in Ashford Rehab Centre while his record was #1 in the charts.
		So they did the backing tracks, which were great, but Took immediately said he couldn't sing a note unless he was a relaxed man. And relaxed meant half a bottle of dark rum.
		Well, by the time the bottle of rum was halfway through, Took was slurring his words, getting it all wrong and everybody knew it.

	TYRANNOSAURUS REX ( T.Rex ) / UNICORN
		In late 1960s, Bolan and percussionist Steve Peregrine Took enjoyed a small but fanatic following amongst London's flower children and its underground press.
		The acoustic Bolan of Tyrannosaurus Rex was a handsome hippie poster child, not the glittering androgynous teenage dream that rocked T.Rex to the top in the early '70s.
		Solid all the way through, Bolan and Took deliver song after song of silly innocence and spiritual intensity, making Unicorn a wonderfully obscure creature worth hunting down.

	T-Rex: Nostalgia
		After stints as a solo performer and as a member of the Who-styled band John’s Children, Bolan formed a duo called Tyrannosaurus Rex with percussionist Steve Peregrine Took.
		Although he originally wanted to be a pure folk artist, he decided to change over to an electric sound and merge his poetic style with the power of rock and roll.
		Took left the duo and was replaced by bongo player Mickey Finn as Bolan shortened the group’s name to the punchier and more memorable T-Rex.

		Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and his sister Cassie, one of the group's backing vocalists, died in the crash; the remaining members were injured.
		In 2004, former Smiths vocalist Morrissey -- who was once the president of a British New York Dolls fan club -- invited the surviving members of the New York Dolls to perform at the 2004 Meltown Festival, a music and cultural festival that was being curated that year by the singer.
		To the surprise of many, David Johansen, Syl Sylvain, and Arthur Kane agreed to the gig, with Steve Conte (from Johansen's solo band) standing in for Thunders and Gary Powell from the Libertines sitting in on drums.

	Marc Bolan Biography - hotshotdigital.com
		Guitarist and vocalist Marc Bolan (born Mark Feld, London 1947) had recorded a couple of singles earlier in the decade but it wasn't until he hooked up with the improbably named Steve Peregrine Took (bongos/vocals) that he created any sort of ripples in the UK hippie ooze.
		It went to #2 in the UK and with a puff of magic powder Bolan was the most gorgeous, pouting, corkscrew-haired pop star in town.
		Drafting in Steve Curry as full-time bass player and Bill Legend as drummer, Bolan followed the hit single with a fairly uninspiring album, T Rex (1970), that looked back to Summer of Love folderol.

	Twink : Think Pink - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		As drummer for the Pretty Things and, later, the Deviants, as well as being one-half of Shagrat with Steve Peregrin Took, Twink was integral in the creation of some of the U.K. psychedelic underground's most brilliant artifacts.
		His Think Pink session contains the classic Twink tracks "The Sparrow Is a Sign" and "The Coming of the Other One," which were cut with Steve Peregrin Took of Tyrannosaurus Rex fame.
		Things get ominous and dark on "Fluid" and "I Remember Nothing"; then, by the first half of the album, the mind is expanded enough to take in side two, where the presence of Steve Took really starts to come into play.

		Obviously we hippies were there with Rubin to provide all the evidence Ardrey needed to support his theories, but we were too busy swilling vodka and chatting up comely researchers to notice.
		At showtime, we were all seated in a single, camera-accessible block of seats, and Rubin and Albert took the guest chairs on the stage with Frost.
		Rubin was jubilant, hopped up on the belief he'd made a greater impact than his partner and rival Abbie Hoffman had on The Merv Griffin Show when he'd worn a American flag shirt and been electronically fled out.

	Channel4.com - SlashMusic - Marc Bolan Archive
		In 1968, while his contemporary David Bowie was crooning in the manner of Anthony Newley, Marc Bolan was leader of a hippie duo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, along with Steve Peregrine Took, a bongo player who had named himself after a Tolkien character.
		The works gathered herein have little in common with classic T. Rex, but it's interesting to here Bolan's voice in these settings; it's as distinctive as ever, but wilder, sounding somewhere between Yoko Ono and Tiny Tim.
		Title such as "Pictures of the Purple People" and "Hippy Gumbo" (an unsuccessful single released in 1966), and obscure lyrics (at one point Bolan refers to "a mac made of yeti") indicate the bygone sensibilities at work herein.

		Tyrannosaurus Rex last minor hit was 'King Of The Rumbling Spires' which had Bolan on electric rather than the original acoustic guitar.
		Steve Took was replaced by the improbably named Mickey Finn, but the big change came when the group abbreviated its name to T.Rex and expanded to a quartet.
		Between 1970 and 1974, the group were to notch up 10 top-ten hits including 3 #1s.

		It should be stated that each of these artists put his own stamp on the genre, no matter how facile the whole scene was.
		When his career went on the slide and all the other rock dinosaurs of the '70s were condemning the beginning of the British punk movement, Bolan readily embraced it: He took the Damned on tour with him and gave young upstarts (Generation X, the Jam) love on his television show (brilliantly titled Marc).
		It's the only way you'll ever experience T. Rex at the height of their powers: Bolan died in an auto accident in 1977; bassist Currie took the same highway off the mortal coil in 1981; and Finn succumbed to liver failure in 2003.
