	Rarebird's T. Rex Reviews
		Rex, the '70's British glam rock band led by the late Marc Bolan, had only one hit single in the U.S. ("Bang A Gong (Get It On)" in 1971), but they were a huge sensation in their native England, almost on a par with the Beatles and the Stones.
		Like most T. Rex albums, this one was produced by Tony Visconti, and all of the songs were written by Bolan.
		In the beginning, when T. Rex was formed in 1967, they were merely a duo comprised of Bolan and Steve Peregrine Took (who took his name from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings); they played all acoustic music and were called Tyrannosaurus Rex.

		Although we can hear Bolan trying to expand the band's sound with R&B style backup singers and horns, songs like "Rapids," "Highway Knees" and "The Street & Babe Shadow" deliver vintage T Rex.

	T. Rex - Electric Warrior DVD-A review
		For me, T. Rex is one of those bands that was perfect for its time, which was the early ‘70s.
		According to Visconti, the mix was done with T. Rex sitting right in front of you in a 180-degree semi-circle, with Bolan& voice in the center channel and his guitars to the right and left sides (not right and left front).
		The rest of the band is sitting right in front of you with the strings, horns and backing vocals popping up everywhere, but mainly behind you.

	Review - Marc Bolan And T. Rex: 20th Century Superstar
		Whereas A Wizard only focused on the full band T. Rex period from 1972-77, this one starts with his first solo single recorded as Toby Tyler in 1964.
		The Slider soon followed, and the next two discs - aside from a BBC live recording of "Sailors of the Highway" - are all culled from albums T. Rex released between 1972-77.
		The next album, simply titled T. Rex showed a shortened name change, and Bolan then added fulltime bassist Steve Currie and drummer Bill Legend to the group.

	T.Rex Reviews
		Ringo Starr was so enamored of "T. Rexstasy" that he set about making a loose documentary on Bolan and band, one whose loose flights of improvisational cinema seem as dizzy as they do substance-fueled.
		The "Tea Party Medley" is one strange soirée of hits, while disc two presents the only complete recording of a T. Rex show, capturing the band's triumphant Wembley homecoming on March 18, 1972, in all its screaming teen glory.
		David Bowie's glammed-out Ziggy Stardust may have inspired much British critical hype at the dawn of the '70s, but it was Marc Bolan's T. Rex whose infectious blend of rock roots and mystic troubadour conceits were the era's biggest teen-frenzy pop phenomena.

	T. Rex Discography
		Originally billed as Tyrannosaurus Rex (which featured Steve Peregrine Took), Bolan eventually abbreviated the band's name to T. Rex (which by now featured Mickey Finn replacing Took).
		Electric Warrior and The Slider are watershed moments in the glam movement, and T. Rex became a hit-making phenomenon in England during the early half of the Seventies.
		But fame is a borrowed crown, and Bolan struggled to maintain that commercial momentum when glam's engine began to sputter, unwisely courting a funkier sound in an effort to stay relevant.

	Marc Bolan and T. Rex : Messing With the Mystic<>
		Bolan's nifty songwriting and flair as a guitarist earned him the credibility to go with the fame, and T. Rex could have been one of the few bands to survive the punk revolution.
		It came to him with T. Rex, who became the British pop sensation of the '70s, setting off a tabloid-and-young-girls feeding frenzy that came to be known as T. Rexstasy.
		First as a Donovan-esque singer songwriter and then with psych-rockers John's Children and Tyrannosaurus Rex, Bolan demonstrated a drive for pop-stardom normally associated with Spice Girls.

		These four reissues from Rhino, which are essentially identical to the Edsel reissues from a few years ago, track T. Rex's downward trajectory but attempt to redeem the band's later, lesser releases by packaging each album with a bonus disc that re-creates the tracklist using alternate takes, live tracks, and B-sides.

	T. Rex: Tanx - PopMatters Music Review
		Indeed, for most of its history T. Rex was equivalent to Marc Bolan, and the backing musicians maintained a studied anonymity.
		Altogether, these reissues make a case not that T. Rex released a vast series of masterpiece albums, but that the group consisted of much more than the one hit single to which America cultural memory would reduce it.
		Each gets its own “alternate version” on a separate disc made up of studio outtakes, which will be of interest mostly to musicologists or T. Rex fanatics.
