Initially a British folk-rock combo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, fronted by guitarist/vocalist Marc Bolan. They became glam rock pioneers and shortened their name to T. Rex in 1970. They had a series of top ten hits in the UK, including four number one singles. In America, the group only had one major hit - "Bang a Gong (Get It On)". They retained a following until Marc Bolan's death in 1977.

Rough Trade Essential

The Electric Warrior album effectively buried the psychedelic folk rock of Tyrannosaurus Rex and immortalised the trashy hard rock of T Rex. One successful single ("Ride A White Swan") and an eponymous album had already introduced the T Rex name in 1970, and the single "Hot Love" first boasted the expanded band line-up of Bolan, Mickey Finn, Steve Currie and Bill Legend. But Electric Warrior crystallised the sleazy bubblegum and rock-and-roll spirit of Bolan's band, capturing what was simultaneously a ferocious attack on and celebration of the three-minute pop single.
