The track was significantly different from the earlier folk rock material and featured multiple electric guitars from Bolan (played on a Fender Stratocaster) and a toy drum kit from Took.
[2][3] Bolan had become influenced by the emerging late 1960s rock scene featuring bands such as Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Humble Pie,[1] and wanted to record some experimental guitar work in the style he had used in his earlier stint with John's Children.
[2] However, the switch to harsh electric guitar was atypical of the duo's acoustic-based sound, and would not be a regular feature for a few years.
[1][3] In the event, it had a single week's appearance on the charts, at number 44,[2] and was the last hit before Bolan regrouped the band as T. Rex to wider commercial success.
[6] Originally issued as a stand-alone single, it was later included as a bonus track on reissues of the earlier album Unicorn.
