Tyranisoris (?) Rex to the hit material from Electric Warrior, The Slider and Tank period. The biggest shame, of course, is that Marc Bolan left this world way too soon (29) in that awful crash and, no, I don't blame his wife Gloria Jones for his death, it was an accident; I know something about car crashes, I almost died in one myself! 20th Century Man is a killer cut, no wonder they used it for that tv commercial!
The early years saw Bolan groping for an identity. He was never really a folkie and it didn't take long before his more manic side took over. Listen to his playing on 'Elemental Child' and you can hear the exhibitionist trying to get out. Although the band had some minor success in the 1960s, it wasn't until 'Ride A White Swan' in 1970 that T-Rex, as it was then called, hit it big. Pretty soon Bolan was in full make-up, androgynous clothing and the glam-rock star was born. Unlike Gary Glitter, the other big glam-rock star (Bowie was too multi-faceted to be pigeonholed in that way), Bolan was a genuine musician and his recordings had some staying power, although as you can hear, they did become somewhat formulaic in the search for big sales.
This CD takes you through the band's (essentially Bolan's) various incarnations. It might be all you need to hear, although those who enjoy his style will want more and his albums are available, testament to his impact over a brief career. Bolan was unfortunately killed in a car crash in 1977, just before his 30th birthday. No doubt, with his musical ability and flair for showmanship, he would have emerged in another style following the withering of glam-rock and its replacement by its antithesis, punk. Bolan as a punk rocker is an intriguing thought! Alas, we'll never know.

大まかに「Bang A Gong(Get It On)」「Hot Love」「Jeepstar」「Metal Guru」「Children Of The Revolution」
「20th Century Boy」が代表曲といったところで、他曲はこの路線を受け継ぐ極めてワンパターンの作風
しかしこれが例えばAC/DCのように圧倒的な「ボラン節」というマンネリズムの素晴らしさで
ルックスのあでやかさと相まって多くのファンを生み出しその名を残したと言える
アルバム単体で聴くなら「Electric Warrior」「The Slider」が最良と思うが
アルバム未収録のシングルヒットが多いのでベストアルバムはT-Rexを知る必需品だ
このCDは初期「ティラノサウルス・レックス」名義の曲から収録されているが
人気がジリ貧だったとはいえ1973年以降の曲があまり収録されていないのが欠点だろうか
