The B-side to the single "Solid Gold Easy Action," "Light of Love" offers a less-heralded but still characteristic glimpse into T. Rex's 1974 sound. It showcases their signature blend of driving rock and Bolan's distinctive lyrical style.
- "Light of Love" was released as the B-side to the single "Solid Gold Easy Action," which reached number 9 in the UK charts.
- The song was recorded at Scorpio Studios in London, a less common choice for T. Rex compared to their previous work at Trident Studios.
- Although not a standout hit on its own, "Light of Love" is a key track for understanding the sonic experiments T. Rex was undertaking in the mid-70s.
T. Rex was a British rock band fronted by Marc Bolan. They were pioneers of the glam rock movement of the 1970s. The 1974 release of "Light of Love" came at a transitional period for the band, following their peak popularity and just before a period of changing musical direction.
