I was reading the “Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White) hit maker’s” interview with DH last night when Toni* mentioned that during the early recordings with T-Rex being short of funds they had to use a “Pixiephone” from Woolies.

Now I could have googled this but where’s the fun in that as I am sure someone round here has one in the loft!

Also it being Marc Bolan my mind was agog with what sort of marvelous machine it would be presumably played with the help of the little people of the Beltane. Sadly I fear the answer is more prosaic but one can dream.

Can anyone help?

*I am slightly disappointed Mr Visconti only produced Modern Romances 2nd lp imagine how much better even “Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey” would have been with TV at the faders!
