Paul Roland

Paul Roland, who was himself managed as a recording artist by Marc's widow June Bolan, has been the acknowledged expert on Marc Bolan since 1978 when he published the first British fanzine, 'Cosmic Dancer' and the first full-length biography, 'Electric Warrior'. But now having interviewed several members of Bolan's family and friends (some for the first time), as well as band members, road crew and other associates, Roland is able to present a truly definitive account of one of the most colourful and contradictory characters in rock augmented with excerpts from archive interviews with Bolan himself. 'Cosmic Dancer' features a cover by the renowned artist George Underwood and is illustrated with many rare and previously unpublished photographs. Paul Roland is the author of more than 30 books and has been a regular contributor to many national music and movie magazines since 1982 including 'The Mail On Sunday', 'Kerrang', 'Sounds', 'Record Mirror', 'Total Film' and 'Uncut'.
