- The song was produced by T. Rex themselves, a rarity for the band at the time.
- "20th Century Boy" reached number three on the UK Singles Chart.
- The B-side, "Lady, Come Home," featured backing vocals from Gloria Jones.
T. Rex were a British rock band, led by Marc Bolan, who achieved immense popularity in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. By 1973, the band had moved away from their earlier psychedelic folk sound and were firmly established as a purveyor of catchy, riff-driven pop-rock.
