T.Rex

The T.Rex album released on 1 March 1974 was intended to be called A Creamed Cage In August, with the band name of Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow. However, EMI rejected the idea and so three times Grammy Award winning art director, John Kosh, had to amend the artwork to include “Marc Bolan & T.Rex” on the corner.

This cutting from Superstar & Music World magazine, February 1974, confirms the story. Which name do you prefer?
