Rough Trade Essential

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.
T Rex was an influential artist who started as a folk-rock band known as Tyrannosaurus Rex before transitioning into glam rock under the shortened name T. Rex. Led by the talented guitarist and vocalist Marc Bolan, they achieved great success with numerous top ten hits in the UK, including four number one singles.

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.
