Listening notes
Demon Records issued T. Rex: The Vinyl Collection in 2014 under catalog number DEMRECBOX02X. The set brings together eight studio albums on vinyl, spanning the group's recorded output across what the tracklist identifies as T. Rex, Electric Warrior, The Slider, Tanx, Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow, Bolan's Zip Gun, Futuristic Dragon, and Dandy in the Underworld. The albums are spread across sides A through P, with individual records assigned paired letter sides in sequence.
The scope of the collection is considerable. The opening album occupies sides A and B, with tracks ranging from the brief "The Children Of Rarn" at under a minute to the extended "The Wizard" at eight minutes and fifty seconds. Electric Warrior follows on sides C and D, containing titles including "Mambo Sun," "Cosmic Dancer," "Jeepster," and "Get It On." The Slider occupies sides E and F, Tanx fills sides G and H, and the remaining four albums carry through to side P. Across all eight records, the tracklist runs to over one hundred individual track entries as catalogued in the release data.
The genres listed for the release are Glam and Rock, reflecting the broad sweep of the band's catalog gathered here. The catalog number DEMRECBOX02X and the Demon Records imprint are the verified release identifiers for this edition.
Fact checker notes: No personnel, pressing specifications, mastering details, or reception data were available for verification. Track durations are drawn directly from the supplied tracklist. The duplicate P4 position listing ("The Soul Of My Suit" and "Hang-Ups") appears in the source data and should be confirmed against the physical release.
