T.REX/GREAT HITS BLN 5003 (-73) UK

There's probably been 50+ compilations with Bolan/Tyrannosaurus Rex/T.Rex through the years and not all are of the highest quality. I've posted two good ones earlier and this is another well worth having. All tracks are from 1972-73, wich was a very productive period for Bolan and the group. Apart from touring and releasing two original albums they also issued a number of non-LP singels, most of them with double B-sides. Although this has a few numbers from previous albums there's so much goodies here, for the first time on 33 rpm, I've always regarded it as an original LP between "Tanks" and "Zinc Alloy". Tracking tells a lot about his width those two years - from the cool "Lady" and whimsical "Solid Gold Easy Action" through boogie to the downright heavy "20th Century Boy" and "The Groover". All tracks are nicely implemented by producer Tony Visconti with pressing and audio in top shape. To my knowledge not issued in US, but had release in many countries all over the world with about same cover and tracking. First UK with label as shown here, fully laminated stickered cover and poster. (RÄX*)
