Marc Bolan's success was peaking at the time he released The Slider in 1972. Coming off hits such as "Bang a Gong" and "Hot Love," he packed Slider with anthems like "Metal Guru" (also a No. 1 British single), "Baby Boomerang," and "Rock On," built around simple rock & roll boogie riffs but burnished to perfection by Tony Visconti's ambitious production. Still, the album upped the heavy rock factor a notch; only "Rip Off" from Electric Warrior hinted at the blazing power of tracks like "Buick Mackane," "Chariot Choogle," and the meaty title track, a lewd-by-inference mixture of driving groove and hushed, between-the-sheets vocals. The ballads "Rabbit Fighter," "Spaceball Ricochet," and "Ballrooms of Mars" are detailed with dramatic string scores, and reveal Bolan's gift for turning non-sequiturs into high romaticism.
Will be supplied with Heavyweight Plastic Sleeve for the Cover and the LP will be packed out of the cover in clean white inner sleeves and cardboard outer sleeves to protect your investment and mailed in a Professional Mailer surrounded by heavy-duty cardboard to ensure it arrives with you in the same condition as it leaves me.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!
From my own personal collection assembled over 25+ years with constant upgrading whenever available so this is a unique opportunity to acquire a pristine example of a RARE and COLLECTIBLE LP that has been lovingly cared for.
All LP covers were stored in the highest quality plastic sleeves and the records stored in separate archival white inners out of the cover to prevent damage to the original sleeves and ring wear of the record through to the original cover.
Lots of rarities will be listed over the coming weeks and you will be hard pressed to improve on these as I was relentless in the pursuit of the finest examples at whatever cost!!!!!
