This is one of the best selling Bolan compilations around, and it's easy to understand why: the packaging is attractive, it's pricey and it includes many of Bolan's best known songs.
However, even if this album includes great T-Rex tracks, my opinion is that it is not the ideal T-Rex compilation, as it only includes tracks recorded between 1972 and 1977. This means that there is no Hot Love, no Get It On, no Jeepster, no Ride A White Swan. Obviously, there is not a single track from Bolan's best original album "Electric Warrior" as it was recorded in 1971.
Note also that the 1973 hit "The Groover" has cheekily been saved for the Vol. 2 that is the companion set to this album. (That album, by the way, is not a "Best of".compilation at all!)
In case you want to buy a T-Rex compilation, this is an OK alternative if you're short of money. My advice is that you get "The Essential Collection" (Polygram) instead.

T-Rex. Fronted by Bolan who seemed to be the antithesis of true rock, the group carved out a niche which none could top. Over a driving beat Bolan's voice floats out - never to be mistaken for anybody else's - which led to chart topping singles one after another. T-Rex still sound ahead of their time and would be a fine antidote to the dross we have to listen to these days, if they were still extant. I have played this repeatedly since snatching it from the Amazon packaging, and I have a different favourite song each time. Listening to this CD is not hard work, and neither is it lift music. It's laid back yet strangely persistent and will worm its way into your head. A terrific buy.

I thought my music collection was missing T.REX but now I purchased this I realise why I hadn't any originals. I think their popularity was more about fashion than music.
