T. Rex was an incredibly successful glam rock and psychedelic rock band from England.  It was started by its leader and songwriter, Marc Bolan.  They experienced overwhelming success in the early 70’s and on into the 80’s with a steady stream of number one hits.  The band was far more successful in the UK and the rest of Europe than they were in the US, which was something I never understood.  I always loved this band!  This was the group’s most successful US release that features the enormous hit, ‘Bang A Gong (Get It On)”.  I absolutely love every track on this album.  It features backing vocal support from ex-Turtles vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, aka Flo And Eddie.  There is also the percussion work and backing vocals of Bolan’s partner on this project, Mickey Finn.  These are brilliant musicians and this is an outstanding collection.  The album was released on the British A&M / Universal Music Catalogue label in 2014, number 535 407-6.  This is a reissue of the album originally released on Reprise in 1971.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The custom inner sleeve with pictures of Bolan and Micky Finn is included and has just one tiny split at the top of one side seam that can be easily repaired. The cover grades NM.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
