BORN TO BOOGIE was Ringo Starr's baby. Ringo loved Mark and his music. He wanted to film him doing some crazy skits and catch him live in concert on Starr's own Apple Films at home were T.Rextasy was exploding. This film was sitting in someone's basement collecting dust for years. Amazing as that may seem when you think about what a high profile artist Bolan was, he was responsible for 25 percent of all record sales for a few years in the U.K., as fate would have it, the story unfolds this way. His performance was at its peak right after a U.S. tour, making this all celluloid gold. For the history and popularity of rock music itself, this had to happen. There was a very expensive and painstaking process for this film to find a new life. This double-CD set was released on 16th May 2005 and was an unexpected bonus for fans of the Ringo Starr-directed documentary BORN TO BOOGIE. The release of a BORN TO BOOGIE: THE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM is simply an amazing piece of icing on the cake. Filmed and recorded in early 1972, just as Marc Bolan & T. Rex had made the leap to the upper reaches of pop stardom, the double-CD set caught Bolan and company at the peak of their musicianship and at a loose, high moment where everything seemed possible. Hence the acoustic guitar/string quartet medley of hits, the Marc Bolan/Ringo Starr/Elton John rendition of "Tutti Frutti", and the string of more conventionally scored performances of "Jeepster" and most of the rest of Bolan's repertoire that are there to enjoy on the first CD. And then there's the second disc, recorded live at the Wembley in March of 1972.
COMPILATION INCLUDES:
CD1 - BORN TO BOOGIE: THE MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK;
CD2 - T. REX IN CONCERT: 18TH MARCH 1972.
Between Apple Films' eventual collapse, along with the rest of The Beatles' music empire, and the fact that T. Rex were never remotely as popular on this side of the Atlantic as they were in England, Americans scarcely ever heard about the movie, much less saw it. This two-disc set now makes it much more with excellent sound and a unique body of music to be enjoyed simply as audio entertainment. It's all great fun as well as a superb example of the best of glam/glitter rock, and excellent rock & roll on its own terms. This double-disc BORN TO BOOGIE: THE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM painstakingly restored and expanded release is a fascinating, warts-and-all slice of pop history, mixing concert performances of key hits like "Jeepster", "Get It On", and "Hot Love" with live-in-the-studio rave-ups of "Tutti Frutti" and "Children Of The Revolution", featuring backing by Ringo and Elton John. The "Tea Party Medley" is one strange soirée of hits, while disc two presents the complete recording of a T. Rex show, capturing the band's triumphant Wembley homecoming on 18th March 1972, in all its screaming teen glory. This is quality product, and an absolute must for any rock fan. Watch a shooting star whose luminosity never dimmed. The legend of Marc Bolan & T. Rex get their due on these wonderful audio collection.
