When I first heard this group it was 1970 and they were called Tyrannosaurus Rex. The album at that time was A Beard Of Stars and the big FM radio hit off of it was "Elemental Child." Jump ahead two years and it's Electric Warrior (released in 1971) and their major 1972 hit single, "Bang A Gong" when it reached #10 in the US on March 18. The opening dance scene is from Dracula A.D. 1972.
