T. Rex's seminal frontman Marc Bolan has been voluminously recorded, bootlegged, compiled, and distributed since the '60s, although with a disorganization unbecoming the latitudes of his contribution. Some fans would pay top dollar for a recording of the band tuning up for an hour, and there are actually precious moments of such filler on BUMP ‘N’ GRIND. Album was released on 11th July 2000. BUMP ‘N’ GRIND liberates a fiesta of master tapes and daring, obscure discoveries and never stoops to the barrel-scraping of many elaborate posthumous comps. This is the original monster rock, the floor-tremblers and widow-makers that were the T-Rex experience. Fans will delight in a full version of "The Groover", where Bolan impresses gods on high with his effortless vibrato, as well as an open-veined run-through of "Telegram Sam" with surprising controversial lyric. An utterly awesome six-minute version of "20th Century Boy" blasts through the conventional fades with guitars emulating the coupling of unlikely machines in an utterly unnatural world. Included is the mysteriously cancelled and problematic "Christmas Bop", and as catharsis, a stunning twelve-minute version of "Children Of The Revolution". Here, the volatile genius, Marc Bolan, simultaneously teaches the band the song, argues with the way-off backup singers, and obsesses with fingering Ravel's "Bolero" without cease. BUMP ‘N’ GRIND is a quintessential rock & roll record in the most literal sense.

Amid the swamp of albums claiming to add something new to the Marc Bolan legend, via undiscovered outtakes or assorted odds and sods, you would need to search far and wide to discover one that can top BUMP ‘N’ GRIND. The track listing may look familiar, but dig into the disc and the Bolan boogie has rarely enjoyed such an invigorating work-out, at least since Edsel Records concluded its excavation of the vaults. Comprising a random gathering of working versions, alternate mixes, and demos, the set opens with a five-minute run through "The Groover", a false start and extended conclusion joined by a previously unnoticed wah-wah guitar. Early renderings of "Jitterbug Love" and "Telegram Sam", an unedited take of "20th Century Boy", an undubbed "Metal Guru", and a sax heavy "Thunderwing" are the highlights of the album's nod to the classic era, before the album meanders off until as late as 1975 in its search for rich pickings. Unlike a lot of similar collections, it's quality that counts. An extended "Light Of Love" that far improves on the familiar ''45''. A raw, rough mix of "Laser Love" packing a few new lyrics. An early version of "Dreamy Lady". And then it's back to the days of Bolanmania for "Children Of The Revolution", extended out across a twelve-minute window into the recording session, with Bolan as buoyant as he is brilliant, and some of his best ever guitar work screaming out of the jams. It is rare that a mish-mash of offcuts should be regarded as a genuinely classic album, but BUMP ‘N’ GRIND fills all the criteria and more.
