The Slider -T.Rex4
This is an incredibly exciting 70s album. The album had two number one hits in Metal Guru and Telegram Sam, Marc and the band were tight , the hits kept on flowing as did the booze - the production is loud and clean, the songwriting strong -check out the autobiographical "Ballroom of Mars". This album is one of the band's best albums (with Electric Warrior) and an excellent example of the 70s. Rock on.

Probably like many other T.rex fans i purchased this album to upgrade from vinyl to cd. This is one of the best T.rex albums ever, only coming second (in my opinion) to electric warrior. The inclusion of two number one singles (telegram sam and metal guru)made it appealing at the time of release, other tracks such as buick mackane, a raunchy guitar rock song and softer tracks such as mystic lady and ballrooms of mars give it variety and show Bolan's diversity as a singer and writer. It depicts the solid authentic formula created by tony visconti (producer) and Marc Bolan himself and is definitely a classic 70's album.

One of Marc's best5
OK. First we had Electric Warrior (a bombshell at the time) then came this "The Slider". You can detect the natural progression of the production by Tony Visconti. Marc has some of his greatest guitar riffs on this Album too.Just listen to "Buick Mackane". I bought the Vinyl in 1972 and this music is still unsurpassed today and in so many ways. I still listen to it regularly.
The booklet within the CD has all the "mystical" lyrics printed, which is really nice to have.
The Slider is a classic post going electric Bolan album and for that reason and many more I recommend it to the world!
Bless you Marc!
