Rexmania”, or “T. Rextasy”, as the press dubbed the frenzy that took over the UK’s music scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis box set celebrates that year. For the first time, it brings together the 1972 studio recordings, broadcasts and performances made by Bolan and his band, T. Rex, putting the listener into the shoes of a T. Rex fan that year: singles, albums, live concerts, radio broadcasts, a film soundtrack and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBolan started 1972 with a brand new single on his own brand new record label, The T. Rex Wax Co. “Telegram Sam” swiftly reached the number 1 spot in the charts, his third chart-topper in under 12 months. In March, T. Rex played two sell-out concerts at Wembley’s Empire Pool, later featured in “\u003cem\u003eBorn To Boogie\u003c\/em\u003e”, a feature film directed by Ringo Starr\u003cbr\u003e that included guest performances from Elton John and Ringo.

And of course the band featured regularly on the BBC throughout the year, recording special sessions for Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops. T. Rex ended the year with the singles “\u003cem\u003eChildren Of The Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e” and “\u003cem\u003eSolid Gold Easy Action\u003c\/em\u003e”, and the T.
