Brand new and definitive collection from T. Rex – the band who brought us the first Glam Rock superstar in the charismatic figure of Marc Bolan and officially kicked off the 1970s.

Before Marc’s untimely death in 1977 T. Rex were nothing short of a phenomenon. British kids hadn’t seen anything like it since The Beatles in their heyday. They even gave it a name – ‘Trextasy’.

The 36-track ‘Bolan Boogie’ brings together all of the band’s biggest hits and greatest tracks including all of the phenomenal hit singles released between 1970 and 1977 and a selection of their most celebrated album tracks and B-sides.

When we say hits we’re talking… ‘Hot Love’, Get It On’, ‘Telegram Sam’, and ‘Metal Guru’ (UK No.1’s), ‘Ride A White Swan’, ‘Jeepster’, ‘Children Of The Revolution’, and ‘Solid Gold Easy Action’  (No. 2), and megahits like ‘20th Century Boy’, ‘I Love To Boogie’ and ‘The Groover’.

’20th Century Boy’ will soundtrack a major Absolut Vodka campaign beginning summer 2024. Songs included on this collection have also featured in ‘Hot Fuzz’ (‘Solid Gold Easy Action’), ‘Billy Elliot’ (‘Cosmic Dancer’), and ‘Death Proof’ (‘Jeepster’)

Artists influenced by Marc and T. Rex include: Sex Pistols, Duran Duran, Oasis, U2, Kate Bush, Beck, Pixies, Paul Weller, Nick Cave, Alison Goldfrapp, Beck, Peaches, Marc Almond, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Jane’s Addiction, Def Leppard and Tricky.

Also available: 2LP Limited Edition coloured vinyl / 2LP black vinyl
