A Limited edition 50-page hardback A4 printing of rare manuscripts, poems and story lines as written by a young Marc Bolan from
1965-66, also includes rare photos from this period. Only 500 printed world wide. Exclusive 200 copies available with the 37 track CD
album 'Marc Bolan' which features all of Marc's recordings from his pre-Tyrannosaurus Rex days. At least two sets of manuscripts for
Pictures Of Purple People exist, both dated May 1966. The first is an eight-scene story, handwritten on 27 pages of an exercise book
and signed Marc Bolan. This exercise book is believed to have been sold through Christies Auctioneers during the early 1980's, after
having been split into separate lots. Reprinted here are the second set of manuscripts which were typewritten on fourteen sheets of thin
paper, stapled together, and contain two versions of Pictures Of Purple People. The first is a twelve-scene plot, the second, an
extended eight scene version of the plot, reprinted here from a carbon copy. Both of these versions were typed by Mike Pruskin, a
freelance publicist who managed Marc between 1965 and 1966 when they shared a basement flat at Manchester Street, London.
