Unicorn is the third studio album by English psychedelic folk band Tyrannosaurus Rex (later known as T. Rex). It was released on 16 May 1969 by record labels Regal Zonophone and Blue Thumb, and was the last Tyrannosaurus Rex album to feature Steve Peregrin Took.
Unicorn featured Marc Bolan on vocals, guitar, organ and phonofiddle and Took on percussion, bass and piano. The back cover depicted Bolan and Took surrounded by books that were relevant to the subject matter of the songs. These books included the work of William Blake as well as photographs of the Cottingley Fairies, a famous case of two children's photographs of alleged fairies taken near their Yorkshire home.
Bolan experimented with an electric guitar for the first time on a Tyrannosaurus Rex record, and Took played less congas and used a full drum kit.
Marc Bolan – acoustic and electric guitars, lead vocals, harmonium, organ, phonofiddle
