"...Tippy-Toed
Vamp A Rider..."
Although
it doesn't contain his first four monster hits as T. Rex - "Ride A White
Swan" (Oct 1970), "Hot Love" (February 1971), "Get It
On" (July 1971) and "Jeepster" (November 1971) - this stunning April
2002 2CD set on Edsel MEDCD 714 (Barcode 740155171421) gives us everything
afterwards and is a fantastic listen for it.
"A's
and B's 1972 - 1977" does exactly what it says on the tin – providing you
with all those EMI/T.Rex Wax Co Label UK 7" singles we bought in those
distinctive T.Rex label bags (it stills gives me a kick to look at them to this
day). Here's a detailed breakdown of the Metal Gurus and 20th Century Boys:

The
fold-out inlay with liner notes by T.Rex/Marc Bolan expert MARK PAYTRESS is
jam-packed with details on the all the tracks and pictures those famous labels
we bought in Woolworths with the excitement of buying the next Beatles seven.
The
remasters are fabulous – full of power and muscle – giving "20th Century
Boy" and "I Love To Boogie" huge punch.
It’s
not all magic of course – "Dreamy Lady" is terrible dreck and I still recall
the feeling of disappointment when "Truck On (Tyke)" came out – it was the end
for him by that time. But tracks like "New York City", "Teenage Dream" and "Laser Love" still have that Bolan magic - and how good is to hear all those
cracking non-album B-sides - "Thunderwing" (lyrics above), "Sunken Rags", "Free
Angel" and "Life's An Elevator" to name but a few. He used album tracks only
twice to my knowledge – "Solid Baby" from "Bolan's Zip-Gun" and
"Baby Boomerang" from 1972's "The Slider" – but again
they're superb inclusions. It's also nice to have that Marc Bolan and Gloria
Jones rare 7" on CD too. Speaking of one-off oddities – it's worth mentioning
the lone exclusion on this set – "Christmas Bop" which was to be MARC 12 in
December 1975 – but was withdrawn.
Sometimes
you don't have to pay the earth to get great sound, fab music, nice presentation
and a reasonable price for 2CDs. What a blast...and what a loss. I miss him…
