nachdem marc bolan 1971 zum internationalen superstar aufgestiegen war, sprach man ab 1972 schon von -t. rexmania- oder -t. rextasy-, wie die britische musikszene es etwas reißerisch zu formulieren wusste. ein umfassendes box-set feiert das 50-jährige jubiläum mit raren studioaufnahmen, singles, alben (natürlich the slider ), live-mitschnitten, broadcasts und einem filmsoundtrack. die 2lp-edition (white vinyl) ist ein auszug aus der box und beinhaltet verschiedene parts aus: - live at wembley - historic t.rex concert from 18 march 1972 - born to boogie - soundtrack-album inkl. elton john und ringo starr - marc bolans us-radio & uk radio-sessions - t. rex bei der bbc im jahr 1972 - mit einer seltenen version von telegram sam aus dem christmas top of the pops-special

standard version on black vinyl. 2lp in gatefold sleeve with liner notes.

es ist nicht david bowies erfolgreichster, aber sicher sein berühmtester song: »heroes«. kaum ein anderer song wurde von so vielen prominenten kollegen gecovert, darunter peter gabriel, depeche mode, king crimson, tv on the radio, prince, blondie, oasis und viele mehr.
anlässlich des 40. geburtstages erscheint der klassiker 2017 erneut, und zwar als limitierte 7--picture-disc.
neben einer neu gemasterten singleversion von »heroes« wartet auf der aa-seite der schallplatte außerdem eine bislang unveröffentlichte liveaufnahme des songs aus marc bolans fernsehshow »marc«. die aufnahme entstand am 7. september 1977 und war die erste liveperformance von »heroes«.

eagerly awaited vol 6 on richard sens mixed blood cuts series sees the baton handed over to melbourne based >pom< golden fleece. the first cut on this 2 tracker >dancin in the nude< sees t-rexs marc bolan fronting a futuristic glam band jam. plenty of (cow) bells, whistles, wonky synths, even the occasional kitchen sink thrown in for good measure! this jam has been tearing up dancefloors on both sides of the planet. on the flip >ciao bella< takes us on an epic dark journey with a full 11 minute long work out of bauhauss >bela lugosis dead< getting a modern fix up with a night stopover in detroit for good measure. golden fleece drops the bpm of the original and respectfully sprinkles over some of his own dub glitter purely for the benefit of the dancefloor! andrew weatherall has been championing this cut

swedens speedmarket avenue are a a pop music collective led by a little guy who looks like a cross between charles manson and marc bolan. their new album is, without a doubt, one of the musical highlights in 2008 for all pop lovers! their debut album im going to let my new swiss army knife answer to that, was packed ful of jangle pop reminiscent of label 53rd and 3rd. the band have played various european festivals and collaborated with camera obscura on their lets get out of this country album thanks to the mutual connection of producer, jari haapalainen. under his direction, they ve now recorded their second album, way better now. an absolute beauty from beginning to end replete with precious pop melodies in a non conventional way, imaginative arrangements and an omnipresent trumpet. limited to 600 copies on vinyl.

in keb darges own words: i ve done many a compilation in my day, mostly based around the tunes i played at my long running deep funk nights in madame jo jos. that night is no longer on the go, possibly due to a growing lack of interest on my part, (sorry). in the last few years the lost & found: nights at the club have been my real passion, and indeed little ediths and andy smiths passion too. what a marvelous era this is for good music. we may still have pure stuff like dub step: pulling in large numbers of sheep, but an equal number of youngsters are being attracted to retro, or at least retro sounding music. people tell me it is because the youth are fed up with computerized music, or men with drug problems angrily shouting at them over a dull repetitive beat, but i know lots of teenagers who have bypassed this muck all together. must be the internet that is helping kill off the demand for empty music. you no longer need to go to a retro club night, or indeed search out rare records to be exposed to good music, the internet is full of the stuff. my fifteen year old daughter is a marc bolan fan who while researching the poor fellows influences discovered chuck berry, sun records, etc, etc. i dont really know or understand why so many are at last getting into the good stuff, but they are, and it is wonderful for the likes of me.
