OK, BUT NOT A SATISFYING BOLAN COMPILATION, 25 Jul 2000

By A Customer

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.
