THE BEST OF MARC BOLAN & T.REX '72-'77 is a 44-track compilation 2-CD set featuring a collection of classic Marc Bolan & T-Rex hit singles released between 1972-77. From the carefully made reissue series of Edsel records comes this compilation, focussing on Bolan's entire output after his huge success Electric Warrior. Compilation was released on 21st October 1997 by Demon Records and Edsel Records. Though it certainly isn't the best songs of the group, the two-disc set intersperses a dozen singles from the period and solid album tracks with offerings from other Edsel sets. Fans of the group who don't want to buy every single "alternate" T.Rex album will find the best of the lot here. An actually very odd concept. So this is neither a greatest hits CD, nor a pure unreleased anthology, but something in between. Nonetheless, the concept works for the most part and makes for an interesting and detailed trip through T.Rex's catalogue, which spares you to get all the confusing unreleased collections, because the most interesting material off those is included here. A most rewarding discovery may be the fact, that although Bolan's albums worsened in the mid-seventies, he still could pound out remarkable singles. The famous singles are of course the creme on the compilation and hold the rest together, but most of the other tracks will be delightful for the devoted fans. This is a worthwhile and sufficient purchase.

By the end of 1970, it was clear that the apparent revolutionary power of the rock underground was going nowhere. Its stars, increasingly enslaved by the chemical favours that came their way, had begun to die off. Their riches and fame set them apart from the movement they were meant to represent, and their fashions and music had been assimilated into the wider culture. They'd become another brick in the wall they once wished to tear down. Marc Bolan, although very much a part of the British underground, never fully bought into the politics of the counter-culture. As the driving force of Tyrannosaurus Rex, a duo which played, cross-legged on Indian rugs, at UFO, Middle Earth and as many outdoor festivals as they could possibly manage, Bolan massaged the underground's escapist wing. He looked like an elfin rag-doll, spoke in a precious whisper, wrote reams of fanciful poetry and sang like a quavering priest from an alien land. And, unlike many of his contemporaries, he rarely ventured far from the simple songwriting that had inspired him as a youth: three chords were usually enough. Much has been made of Bolan's transition from underground folkie to teen idol. In fact, he was fond of saying that his post-1970 pop career was far more honest. After 1970, Marc Bolan activated an entire generation of teenagers, setting the controls for as far as they could think. They screamed, but they also dreamed. Through his image, he encouraged a symbolic refusal of ordinariness. The songs on this CD document released by T. Rex between January 1972 and August 1977, a period which began with a string of surefire chart-toppers, and ended with his death in a car crash on 16th September 1977. By that time, his successes were hard-earned, but his knack for conjuring irresistible three minute epics out of a clutch of simple chord shapes and a few choice phrases never left him.
