THE UNIVERSAL MASTERS COLLECTION Series.
German compilation for the glam-rock icon featuring 15 tracks - great testament to a great artist. In autumn 1965, an 18 year old Marc Bolan put on his Polish sailor coat, his light brown corduroys and his suede boots and did his first photo publicity session with photographer Michael Wedgbury for his first solo single on Decca. His hair is not yet the tumble of corkscrew locks he would become known for. Marc looks every inch the folkie hipster, the beatnik poet, and is ready for the world to fall at his feet. His confidence is already fizzing, his self belief is unshakeable and his destiny is assured. At least in his own mind. Not long ago, he was Mark Feld, then became Mark Bowland, but then settled on Marc Bolan. He put the ‘c’ in Mark to make himself sound ‘french’, a nod to the symbolist poet Rimbaud, who Marc was hip to. His surname was dreamed up to sound a bit like ‘Dylan’ who was Marc’s idol at that time. It might also have been nicked from the actor James Bolam, who Bolan was sharing a flat with at the time. Or, it could have been dreamed up by the publicity department of his record company. Which version is actually true, nobody knows for certain, as Marc was already a supreme fantasist and he came out with increasingly outlandish stories to build a mystique around himself. Marc would hang around the music business pubs of Soho and tell anybody who would listen how he was going to be a massive star. They tolerated him but mostly saw him as just another starry-eyed kid thinking he was going to be the next big thing. His first single ''The Wizard'' came out and the world was indifferent. It flopped. But it got a handful of good reviews from writers in both Melody Maker and Disc magazines. ''The Wizard'', for all its naiveté and lack of a chorus, is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of its creator. Marc has already taken on the persona of his imagined poetic alter-ego and this quirky first single release is the first starting point on Marc Bolan’s creative map, that was to become more steeped in fantasy and take many twists and turns in the next five years. Ever since Marc Bolan's tragic death in 1977, countless T. Rex compilations have popped up - few of which spanned his entire career. Having recorded for several different labels must've led to red tape for prospective compilers. The 15-track 2003 compilation, Universal Masters Collection Series, is no different, as T. Rex's post-'72 output is completely absent - instead focusing on Bolan's early folk direction and subsequent beginning phase of his glam rock makeover. Two of T. Rex's biggest U.S. hits are included here, the perennial classic rock radio standards "Get It On" and "Jeepster," as well as further glam ditties "Hot Love", "Ride A White Swan" and "Rip Off", plus an earlier track that would become a U.K. hit when re-released at the peak of Bolan-mania, "Debora". The earlier selections pale in comparison to the glam-era rockers, however, as it's evident that Marc Bolan had yet to carve his niche. While this is by no means a complete T. Rex best of, it's an adequate representation of their early years, through Marc Bolan's first taste of chart success.
