- The Perfect T Rex Collection

This disc has it all. From Debora on through 20th Century Boy, there isn't an essential track missing. Jeepster, the best TRex track you've never heard, is even here. It is usually missing from the other greatest hits collections. If you are looking for a disc to start your T Rex collection, you can't go wrong here.

- Somewhat schizophrenic selection, overpriced

If you can find this CD in the states for less than $15, go for it. It's a pretty solid introduction to T. Rex, although the song selection, from '71-'77, is a bit schizophrenic. It does, however, contain tunes like "Light Of Love" and "Debora", which most T. Rex anthologies usually skip. I would just get into the real stuff and pick up 2 or 3 T. Rex albums, beginning with "Electric Warrior" and moving on to "The Slider" and "Futuristic Dragon."
