First, this is almost every single after "Electric Warrior" on. Great to have all the singles in chronological order. Great sound also. The material starts to drag a little during the second disc, but by the end of that disc and you hear "Dandy....." and "Celebrate Summer" you know Bolan was back on track. Makes me wonder what he might have done had he not been killed in that damn car accident. This is almost everything. One single was left off, I believe it's "Christmas Bop", a seasonal record. Would have made this complete, but that is just a very small omission for a set that is this good. A nice compliment to the regular albums, that include some but not all the singles as bonus tracks. If you like T. Rex this is a winner.
What can I say about T-Rex and especially about Marc Bolan that has not been said or written before. Marc at his best! This one is a great addition for the yanks that don't know anything about Marc and his music except "Bang a Gong" or as released in the UK "Get It On". I am no real fan of Gloria Jones and there are a couple songs that she is singing back up...needless to say, I will listen to because I still love the music. Marc was a true loss in the world of music and poetry!
Legend has it that it all hit the wall after "The Slider"....This shows that Marc could still "Get it on" on 45. Love the b-sides especially.
The sound quality is great on this collection and with the album Electric Warrior serves as a good representation of Marc Bolan & Rex's work.
The sleeve notes are informative as well and it was just what I needed for my collection.
