MARC BOLAN and T. Rex will be touring Britain again this year six concerts are being planned for April and May.

No definite dates or venues, however, have yet been set although a spokesman for the band confirmed that one of the concerts will be in London.

The band's new album "Zinc Alloy And The Hidden Riders Of Tomorrow," mean-while, is released this week. A special limited edition of the album, with a complex sleeve design, will also be available as prizes in com-petitions organised through the national press, radio and the T. Rex fan club.

Only 750 copies of the special album have been manufactured.
