T. Rex Limited Vinyl 2LP Set

Description

T. Rex Self Titled Limited Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:
Two classic albums from Marc Bolan’s Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex catalogue will be released on 3 March 2014 by Universal Music Catalogue/Polydor. The release of A Beard of Stars and T.Rex, come just prior to the national tour of 20th Century Boy, a new musical inspired by the life of the rock legend who continues to captivate each and every generation with his catalogue of hits and classic tracks. Now including a version of Ride A White Swan specially recorded for Top Of The Pops among its bonus tracks, the T. Rex album reveals another side to Bolan’s so-called instant success. For despite the electrifying rock’n’roll Jewel, Is It Love? And neo-bubblegum Beltane Walk, there’s a surprising sweetness to much of the album, with songs such as The Visit and Seagull Woman likely inspired by new wife June. It’s little wonder that many aficionados, Morrissey among them, regard T. Rex as the best-kept secret in the Marc Bolan catalogue.
