Ride a White Swan
"Ride a White Swan" is a song by the English underground (and later glam rock) act T. Rex. It was released as a stand-alone single on 9 October 1970 by record label Fly. Like all of the band's songs, it was written by the group's singer, guitarist and founder Marc Bolan.
The song was the band's first hit, and, according to Ned Raggett of AllMusic, the song "inadvertently founded glam rock mania" although Bolan did not wear characteristic glam stage clothing until the promotion of follow up single "Hot Love".〔Mark Paytress, ''Bolan - The Rise And Fall Of A 20th Century Superstar'' (Omnibus Press 2002) ISBN 0-7119-9293-2, pp 180-181〕
== Background ==
In spring 1969, after three acoustic Tyrannosaurus Rex albums and an equal number of singles released to limited appeal, Bolan began to make the transition from basing his band's sound around an acoustic guitar to basing it around an electric one. The new electric sound was premiered on single "King of the Rumbling Spires" and tracks were recorded for a planned fourth album, before Bolan replaced percussionist Steve Peregrin Took with Mickey Finn following a US tour. Shortly thereafter, the new duo completed the fourth album ''A Beard of Stars'' (including some material salvaged from the final Took sessions). This was released in early 1970. Later that year a fifth album was recorded. For its release, Bolan shortened the group's name from Tyrannosaurus Rex to the more manageable T. Rex, also the name of the new album.
