T.Rex – The Studio Albums 1970-1977

Description

EXPECTED 17TH JANUARY 2025

Demon Records are delighted to announce a new LP box set and a CD box set celebrating the studio albums released by Marc Bolan under the ‘T. Rex’ name.

Having recorded as Tyrannosaurus Rex since the mid-1960s, frontman, lyricist, poet and guitarist Marc Bolan entered the new decade with a new sound, a new band and a new, foreshortened name – ‘T. Rex’. In the process, he became Britain’s first new superstar of the seventies, embarking upon a breathtaking run of hit singles and studio albums that demonstrated his restless muse and showcased constant genre-defying creativity.

1970’s ‘T. Rex’ came in the wake of the chart success of ‘Ride A White Swan’ and formed a sonic bridge between the Tyrannosaurus Rex sound and a new electric glam that would bring him superstardom. The follow up, 1971’s all-time classic ‘Electric Warrior’ followed, a classics-packed collection of songs that included ‘Life’s A Gas’, ‘Jeepster’, ‘Get It On’ and ‘Cosmic Dancer’.
