2008 archive release featuring the best of Marc Bolan and T. Rex's recordings for the BBC. If there’s one artist whose success can be almost directly attributed to support from the BBC, it’s Marc Bolan. His initial success was unquestionably down to the close friendship he had forged with John Peel, who had Bolan on his show on countless occasions recording sessions, reading poetry, even singing Christmas carols. On his last Radio London show before the station was shut down Peel played no less than six Bolan recordings. This single disc set is the best of the BBC recordings, taken from the three CD retrospective released in 2006. 24 tracks including 'Telegram Sam', 'Ride A White Swan', 'Debora' and more. Universal. Glam-rock god Marc Bolan put T. Rex on the rock-&-roll map in the 1970s with such classics as "Jeepster" and "Telegram Sam," but this collection of their late-'60s/early-'70s BBC recordings paints a picture of a group in transition. While the '60s material is full of hippie-era psych-folk whimsy, you can hear the sandals fall away, replaced by platform heels, as the T. Rex sound is electrified and toughened up on the '70s tracks, until it reaches the classic glam-rock sound of the ELECTRIC WARRIOR era. No one ever sounded quite like T. Rex in any phase of their work, and THE BEST OF THE BBC RECORDINGS offers a unique glimpse into their artistic growth. Marc Bolan & T. Rex: Mark Bolan (vocals, guitar). |
