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. Although their popularity was limited in America, they did have one major hit with "Bang a Gong (Get It On)". Despite Marc Bolan's untimely death in 1977, T Rex continued to maintain a dedicated fan base.
If you enjoy artists like David Bowie or Queen, you'll definitely appreciate T Rex's unique blend of folk-rock and glam rock that made them true pioneers of their time.

This classic album, released in July 1972 on the back of three chart-topping T. Rex LPs - provides a perfect snapshot of the era the press dubbed T. Rextasy and is proof of Bolan's extraordinary and enduring appeal across the generations. The Slider contained two UK #1 hit singles, 'Telegram Sam' and 'Metal Guru' and the first to bear the T. Rex Wax Co imprint, a seal of approval from EMI Records, who felt Bolan sufficient important to warrant having his own record label. This edition features the complete album remastered by producer Tony Visconti and Ted Jensen.
