T.REX - THE VINYL COLLECTION – COLOURED VINYL EDITION

EXCLUSIVE!

T.REX – THE VINYL COLLECTION:

Gold collector’s edition box set of coloured heavyweight vinyl

editions of each of T.Rex’s 8 classic studio albums, available

exclusively through MyPlayDirect.

Limited to 500 units worldwide.

The eight original titles featured in the box are as follows:

T. Rex (1971) With Ride A White Swan the surprise hit of winter

1970, T.Rex was the transition album that saw Bolan successfully

reach out beyond his old hippie audience (and ditch the group's

previous mouthful of a name, Tyrannosaurus Rex).  Friend and

photographer Pete Sanders took the stunning cover photo of Marc

and percussionist sidekick Mickey Finn, both of whom wore

make-up for the shoot to accentuate their androgynous beauty.

Electric Warrior (1971) Not just the flagship T. Rex album, but a

chart-topping rock classic that has grown in stature ever since its

release, thanks to the mix of inspired song writing and raw,

seemingly effortless performances. Features iconic, John

Kosh-designed artwork based on a photograph by Kieron 'Spud'

Murphy, and includes the hits Get It On and Jeepster.

The Slider (1972) Released in summer '72, when T.

Rextasy/Bolanmania was evolving into the generation-defining

Glam Rock movement, The Slider captures the definitive T. Rex

sound at its commercial peak. Bolan insisted that Ringo Starr took

the cover shot (in fact it was Tony Visconti); the songs contained

within, including hits Telegram Sam and Metal Guru, have since

proved no less timeless.

Tanx (1973) Eager not to be trapped by his fame and

spectacularly successful hit formula, Bolan introduced a

range of new instruments including the Mellotron into the T. Rex

sound for this rich, satisfying set. Includes Born To Boogie, a theme tune of sorts, and a sleeve that features Bolan suggestively

astride a toy tank.

Zinc Alloy & The Hidden Riders Of Tomorrow (1974) An

extraordinary provocation at the time, with Bolan taking an

impassioned leap into the gutsy sound of US soul, Zinc Alloy is the

surprise package in the T. Rex catalogue and remains ripe for

reappraisal. Includes Teenage Dream, Bolan's extraordinary,

self-willed farewell to pop stardom, and a striking cover photo that

reflects his conversion to what he called "space-age superfunk".

Bolan's Zip-Gun (1975) In exile both from Britain and his pop

past, Bolan hung loose in Los Angeles, and freed himself up in the

studio. The results weren't greatly appreciated at the time, when

soft-rock prevailed, but the years have been kind to this, the 'The

great lost Marc Bolan album' thanks in part to Bolan's own direct,

contemporary sounding production. Includes Light Of Love and the lost classic Think Zinc.

Futuristic Dragon (1976) The title was reminiscent of Bolan's

days as a late 60s underground cult hero, and so did the artwork

, illustrated by David Bowie's long-time pal George Underwood,

who was responsible for the fantastical painting that appeared on

the first Tyrannosaurus Rex cover back in 1968. Includes two of

Bolan's best-loved hits, New York City and Dreamy Lady.

Dandy In The Underworld (1977) Back in London and energised

by the punk rock sound then sweeping the capital, Bolan put

together a new-look T. Rex for what would be his swansong

release. Featuring a gutsier, R&B based sound, though with

Bolan's trademark lyricism still much in evidence, as well as the

infectious revivalism of his 1976 hit, I Love To Boogie, Dandy

returned Marc Bolan and T. Rex to the news columns. This

re-emergence was cruelly curtailed when pop's most distinctive

, and in so many ways influential Superstar of the Seventies was

killed in a car crash in Barnes, London, on September 16, 1977.
