5.0 out of 5 stars AND ABOUT TIME TOO...., 5 Jun 2006
To all major fans of Marc Bolan this newly released DVD (with a running time of approx 3 hours) offers very little of what could be described as new material (with the exception of Pop Quest from 1975 and Ride A White Swan from French TV in 1970).
To the casual buyer however or to those many thousands of people who came on board last summer with the release of 'Born To Boogie' (which reached number one in the BBC DVD chart)this little box of gems is nothing short of stunning.. The disc is split into several main sections each covering a different aspect of Bolan's career.
First up is TEN GREATEST HITS A magical run through of all the hits from Ride A White Swan through until Teenage Dream (missing out Truck On). Most of these performances originally came out on video back in the early 90's as part of the 'Ultimate Collection' though picture and sound wise this is far superior. As I mentioned at the beginning the version of Ride A White Swan from the French TV show 'Pop Match'- recorded in Black and White 22nd December 1970 is a newly located gem(and wonderful it is to)
Next up comes SUPERSONIC AND GET IT TOGETHER a brilliant compendium of all Bolan's performances for Britain's ITV Network between 1976 and 1977 (with the exception of an appearance on the 'Arrows TV show' in 76 performing Laser Love.. and the grand finale from the last ever Supersonic. However it does include the 'Rollin Bolan' TV special (5 songs from the summer of 1976) though not as good quality wise as it could be. Though this is more than made up for by the 'Supersonic Xmas Special' from the same year (featuring 3 songs) which is stunning quality..
Next up comes the INTERVIEWS & MUSIC - The complete 'Russell Harty' Interview from July 72. 'Music In the Round' (featuring four songs and an interview) and the long lost gem from summer of 75 - 'The Pop Quest Interview' - it may be short but it definately is very sweet and special . Last but by no means least comes - DANDY IN THE UNDERWORLD - originally made and screened in 1997 for Granada/Channel 4 TV in the uk... easily the best documentary done on the man to date and if you didn't already have it then sit back and enjoy...
There is enough unissued Bolan video material out there to fill several volumes - though this is an excellent start and should please even the most skeptical buyer.. Five Out Of Five

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, 2 Jan 2007
I've always been a big Bolan fan (he even gave a debut to The Jam on his old TV show), so I bought this DVD out of curiosity. I thought it was great value from the nostalgic TV clips to the excellent documentary. The man had such charisma at a time when the music scene was not so hot. His untimely death was such a loss but his influence can still be seen in so many places.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent T.Rex Overview, 18 Jun 2006
By Jervis - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This latest T.Rex DVD isn't really a 'best of' collection but more an overview of Marc's tv appearances through the years.
There are two selections titled 'Ten Greatest Hits' and ''Supersonic' and 'Get It Together'' the first of which covers many of Marc's most popular songs from his peak period (1970-74) and the second during his lean years when he was attempting a comeback. The first undoubtedly shows Marc at his charismatic best and whether the performances were mimed or live it's impossible to ignore Marc's star quality. The second is a little more hit and miss although there are some visually as well as musically striking moments especially the two performances of 'Dreamy Lady'.
There is also an interviews and music section which includes the great 'Music In The Round' show plus the rare 'Russell Harty' and 'Pop Quest' interviews.
Lastly there's a great 1997 channel 4 documentary including interviews with Marc's family and friends (and fellow pop stars).
Overall this is a great DVD with some wonderful moments. However for me at least those tv appearances by Marc only scratch the surface of what's available and even with the unofficial footage i've got it wouldn't be too hard to find an even more striking compilation which demonstrates Marc's magic.
It's a great DVD all the same although it's not quite definitive.
