Issued eight years after Marc Bolan's passing, The Main Man stands as a retrospective celebration of his glam-era brilliance and late-period resilience. Compiled for Cambra Records, the double-LP gathers definitive singles and album cuts spanning Bolan's evolution from glitter icon to mature songwriter, preserving the pulse of T. Rex's electric mythology.
Released in the UK in May 1985, The Main Man arrived amid renewed interest in Bolan's legacy, following the early-'80s reissue wave and growing collector demand for comprehensive anthologies.

On March 29, 1977, T. Rex performed The Soul of My Suit on the final ever edition of the TV show Supersonic, marking the end of the programme with one of their most heartfelt late‑era performances.
For the finale, T. Rex were joined on stage by fellow studio guests Dave Edmunds, Ray Davies, Alvin Stardust, Elkie Brookes, Gloria Jones, and John Lodge, turning the show’s closing moments into a rare, star‑studded gathering of ’70s talent.
