Bargain Compilation
Some top tunes from the bopping elf on this CD. It's a really varied mix with some tracks which were until (relatively) recently quite hard to get hold of.
This is by no means a "greatest hits" kind of CD, it's a mix of album tracks, unreleased (in Marc's liefetime) recordings & a smattering of better known songs.
Marc was an underrated genius & this compilation is great for the price & a pretty good taster if you feel the need to go beyond the greatest hits compilations & want to hear some of Marc's other work.
A diverse but truly excellent compilation.
Boogie again...
Let the seventies revival continue to roll-please god as long as it's not the eighties-strap on your platforms and flares and get down to a classic of the era that straddled the somewhat painful gap between punk, rock and glam.
T-Rex were one of the better bands of the era and this whilst a good album, it works best alongside volume 1 and like the ptrevious reviewer says, it is not a comprehensive 'greatest hits'-when are they ever-but still a classic to own.
Genius? Absolutely Not
Marc Bolan made some great records. The trouble is he stopped making them after 'Slider'. From 'My People Were Fair.....' he improved enormously with every album, right up to 'A Beard of Stars'. For 'T. Rex', he took a side step and made an album that was very different but still great. 'Electric Warrior' was (I think) about as good as 'T. Rex' but then the rot set in. 'The Slider' contained a lot of 'filler' ('Telegran Sam' and 'Metal Guru' to name but two). After that it was downhill all the way. Bland, often repetetitve and VERY over-produced (though many of the alternate or 'work in progress' versions show that his basic song writing was still reasonably sound).
Unfortunately, much of the stuff on this album is absolutely second rate. And that's being generous.
