SPACEBALL: THE AMERICAN RADIO SESSIONS is UK 34-track double-CD compilation album, featuring a range of tracks from radio sessions in Boston, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. The complete American radio recordings from Marc Bolan & T.Rex early 70's trips to try and break America, featuring acoustic versions of many T.Rex hits. Original interviews and jingles have been added to this collection along with a complete, up until now, lost radio session in Chicago. All the pictures in this package were taken on the road on the promotional tour of the USA. All the tracks on this collection have all been re-mastered. Album was released on 30th November 2009 by British Applebush Recordings. Subtitled THE AMERICAN RADIO SESSIONS, this double-disc set collects largely acoustic versions of classic T. Rex songs performed in 1971 and 1972, when the original glam rock pixie was trying to bust his way into America. At that time, T. Rex were the most popular group in the UK since The Beatles, riding a wave of T.Rextasy and shifting millions of singles. But, in many respects, Bolan was far too English to win America. Although he’d plundered the American archives for his inspirations musically. He’s added such a unique twist to them, that by the time he took his unique brand of Cosmic Rock 'N’ Roll back to them, it went over their heads.
PERSONNEL: Bass Guitar – Steve Currie; Congas – Mickey Finn; Drums – Bill Legend; Vocals, Guitar – Marc Bolan.
SPACEBALL: THE AMERICAN RADIO SESSIONS is the first full re-counting of four American radio sessions. The overall mood of the two CDs is astonishingly dynamic. It’s best to start with disc two, which inexplicably features the earliest interviews and on-air sessions at WBAI Radio, New York, in April 1971. Disappointingly, this is the only part featuring the full electric T. Rex line-up. The influence of Jimi Hendrix on Bolan’s wah-wah guitar is obvious on a loose, extended version of ''Elemental Child'', and there’s a banging, twelve-minute take on ''Jewel'', which almost morphs into ''Jeepster''. In stark contrast to the bombast of the first session, a visit to WPLJ a few days later sees Bolan and Finn alone at play. It's a less-essential outing, but it has its moments. The cover of ''Honey Don’t'' is another revealing obscurity, as is ''Get It On Blues''. Unfortunately, the sound quality is badly muffled in the sessions done at Chicago’s WGLD Radio on 11th December 1971, which features the wonderful b side ''Sunken Rags''. Disc one is basically just Bolan accompanying his own inimitable hippy whinny on acoustic guitar, doing songs largely from his overrated The Slider album, interspersed with pointless interviews and the odd jingle. This two sessions included here date from early 1972, at a time when the band was touring to promote the Electric Warrior album. It is intriguing, then, that Marc Bolan used the occasion to preview his next album, The Slider. All are performed by a talkative Bolan alone, returning to his acoustic roots with affable charm and surprising assurance. While "Ballrooms Of Mars", certainly one of his finest period compositions, is simply sublime. Of course, SPACEBALL: THE AMERICAN RADIO SESSIONS as a whole cannot be placed in the same esteemed company as the conventional albums of the era. But it is certainly the equal of any other archive effort, and an exalted companion to the BBC albums released elsewhere. The otherworldly, faux-posh speaking voice that this son of a Hackney truck driver adopted has its own entertainment value, but this is one for collectors and T.Rex obsessives only.
