Before this album saw the light of day, I seem to remember hearing that it was originally to be titled 'Zinc Alloy & The Gunrunners'. Keith?


My understanding is that the title of the record was going to be A CREAMED CAGE IN AUGUST, and it was to be credited to Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow, to mark a new phase. But the record company balked and that's why "Marc Bolan & T. Rex" is unartistically slapped onto the front.


Yes, I've heard that, too.

Thanks for the the replies. This is more rare than I realized if there were only 1000 copies. I could never be swayed to pay that much (auction posted above) for a copy that was not in mint condition. Looks like it must have been very cool though!



The standard gatefold sleeve is nice, too, in case you haven't got that. Lots of pics on the inside!
