Rex’. In the process, he became Britain’s first new superstar of the seventies, embarking upon a breathtaking run of hit singles and studio albums that demonstrated his restless muse and showcased constant genre-defying creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1970’s ‘T. Rex’ came in the wake of the chart success of ‘\u003cem\u003eRide A White Swan\u003c\/em\u003e’ (included as a bonus track) and formed a sonic bridge between the Tyrannosaurus Rex sound and a new electric glam that would bring him superstardom. The follow up, 1971’s all-time classic ‘\u003cem\u003eElectric Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e’ followed, a classics-packed collection of songs that included ‘\u003cem\u003eLife’s A Gas\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eJeepster\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eGet It On\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eCosmic Dancer\u003c\/em\u003e’.

As bonus tracks on the set’s ‘\u003cem\u003eTanx\u003c\/em\u003e’ disc are the megahits ‘\u003cem\u003e20th Century Boy’\u003c\/em\u003e, ‘\u003cem\u003eChildren Of The Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eSolid Gold, Easy Action\u003c\/em\u003e’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1974’s ‘\u003cem\u003eZinc Alloy\u003c\/em\u003e’ saw Bolan’s interest on the move, into a frenetic, more electric-soul glam sound with the introduction of R\u0026amp;B influences including funky keyboards and the gospel-sounding ‘\u003cem\u003eCosmic Choir\u003c\/em\u003e’. Bonus tracks here are ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Groover\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eTruck On\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eTyke\u003c\/em\u003e)’. Moving on again, 1975’s ‘\u003cem\u003eBolan’s Zip Gun\u003c\/em\u003e’ caught the prevailing zeitgeist, channelling Bolan’s sound at times with a proto=Punk back-to-basics approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1976’s gorgeous ‘\u003cem\u003eFuturistic Dragon\u003c\/em\u003e’ was a late T.
