I've known for a long time that Marc Bolan played on Ma- Ma- Ma Belle but didnt know this:

Solid Gold Easy Action" is a song by T. Rex, written by Marc Bolan. It was released as a single in 1972 and reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The song did not feature on an original studio album but was included on the 1972 Great Hits compilation album issued by EMI Records. Jeff Lynne played guitar on the track alongside Bolan, with Bolan returning the favour by playing on Lynne's ELO hit "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle" soon after.

Not that the track sounds like Jeff is playing on it but nice to know anyway!

Happy days.

Eloise: unomusette, you are so right about all of us being a tiny bit from Birmingham. I can't tell you how many times I have had the Birmingham blues and wished I could be there. Aug 29, 2024 15:01:23 GMT

eloneen: We've got nasty weather here in Central NC- rain, high winds, possibility of tornadoes until 6PM - nothing dangerous so far here. There are tens of millions of people affected by this storm. Stay safe! ::animated-smileys-hug-008:: Sept 27, 2024 14:34:21 GMT *

BIuebird: I'm so glad you're okay eloneen! I still have yet to hear from some of my friends in Georgia and Florida, I'm worried about them.
