On 16th June 1972 Marc Bolan & T.Rex played Manchester Bellevue as part of a short Summer tour which took in Cardiff, Birmingham and Newcastle. Metal Guru was No. One in the singles chart and the classic album The Slider was scheduled for release the following month. They had recently sold out 2 shows at Wembley Empire Pool and Marc Bolan was working with ex-Beatle Ringo Starr on his own Movie Project Born To Boogie. Here was a band at the very top of their game... Forty five years on from that very concert in Manchester was released a double Live album from some of the best performances from that and the previous year captured on Marc's very own reels of tape. 2CD-set in deluxe mirror board cover with printed inner sleeves. All audio has been cleaned and re-mastered for CD. Captures the band at the very pinnacle of their fame. Features the hits ''Ride A White Swan'', ''Jeepster'', ''Hot Love'', ''Get It On'', ''Debora''. All tracks taken from Marc's own reels. It's a part of celebration of Marc's 70th Birthday this 2017 year. T.REXTASY was released on 16th June 2017 by Easy Action Recordings.
PERSONNEL: Marc Bolan - guitars, organ, vocals; Mickey Finn - congas, talking drums, bongos, Chinese gong, Mexican claves, marracas, tambourines; Steve Currie - guitar, bass; Bill Legend - drums.
The packaging of this set is excellent, complementing the colours of Electric Warrior throughout. The front sleeve photo is awesome and perfectly sums up Marc’s live performance at this time. Just a pity the spine is too narrow so it doesn’t close properly: someone goofed! What comes out of this collection is how fantastic Marc was live with terrific versions of his work. There is a real rawness and edge to his live performances that got muted in the studio versions. This is also a showcase for his skills on the guitar that shine throughout this. On the downside this tries to mimic a full live concert but this is not successful. The songs are terrific but they would never have been performed together in one concert. Overall though, this shows great songs and great performances. However, it is sad that soon Marc was to lose that edge and talent in a sea of excess and egotism that marred his work after The Slider, with him not returning to form until his final album Dandy In The Underworld.
