Comment:

80 minutes of classic-era T. Rex, focusing on the first four albums and attendant singles under that moniker. I wish I could have included "Sunken Rags", "Tenement Lady", "Baby Strange", "Rock On", "Mambo Sun", "Rip-Off" and "Rapids", as well, but ran into problems with the whole space considerations thing. (Note: This mix was extensively revised on 5/2/05 and again on 5/30/05, once my Tyrannosaurus Rex comp was completed.)

a great tribute, it's nearly 25 years ago now since Gloria Jones (of tainted love fame) drove that car into a three that killed Marc

Been meaning to do one of these for months. Hard to build a solid but inexpensive Bolan collection, given the number of incomplete yet overlapping compilation albums out there. Apparently capitalizing on the 20th Century Boy commercial campaign, there's a new compilation that just came out which, best as I can tell, is one of the few to work out the licensing problems and include tracks from Tyrannosaurus Rex, the first 2 T. Rex albums (i.e. Electric Warrior), and the later T. Rex albums, so you may want to check that out to fill in the gaps. Alas, no "Baby Strange," and all I have is some demo version, though I'm not sure if I'd include that in the essential T. Rex canon if it weren't for the reformulated Big Star's bang-up cover version.

Fantastic Rob. Consider this trade bait (sorry for the delay in getting some stuff out to you BTW). Also, I think Marc was killed when Gloria drove into a tree, not a three! ;)

Looks good Rob, T-Rex is well represented here in Mighty Casetta towers (as illustrated in RSE1.0). Most of the collection is in the vinyl catagory so can't help you with "Ride A White Swan". I might transfer the T-Rex Xmas messages over to CD for a holiday mix in a few.

Really great. It looks like we both prefer Slider to Warrior ;-) My third fave lp is Zinc Alloy, no matter how abused its rep is. I also like Country Honey (borrowed by GnR for Paradise City!).

I keep meaning to do a cd of my favourite rare marc bolan tracks, and this has definately given me the incentive to do it... I have 'ride a white swan' if you need it... Nice to see 'spaceball ricochet' on this, as I really love that track...
