Real Name: Tyrannasaurus Rex Tyrannasaurus Rex formed in 1967 as an acoustic duo with percussionist Steve Took after leaving their previous project. They signed a recording deal with producer Tony Visconti for release on EMI's label. Following a poorly received US tour, Steve Took left to pursue his own music, and was replaced by another member. Eventually, Tony Visconti shifted the label outlet for his productions from Regal Zonophone to another label in the UK. After much urging from Visconti, Marc Bolan abbreviated the group's name to T. Rex and expanded the lineup to a quartet with the addition of a bassist and a drummer.
