Having recorded as Tyrannosaurus Rex since the mid-1960s, frontman, lyricist, poet and guitarist Marc Bolan entered the new decade with a new sound, a new band and a new, foreshortened name - 'T.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. 1970's 'T.Rex' came in the wake of the chart success of 'Ride a White Swan' 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 'Electric Warrior' followed, a classics-packed collection of songs that included 'Life's a Gas', 'Jeepster', 'Get It On' and 'Cosmic Dancer'. 1972's 'The Slider' was released at the peak of T.Rex mania ('T.Rexstasy'!) and delivered two UK No. 1 singles in the form of 'Telegram Sam' and 'Metal Guru', while 1973's 'Tanx' pushed all the glam faders into the red on one of the most exciting rock albums of the decade. 1974's 'Zinc Alloy' saw Bolan's interest on the move, into a frenetic, more electric-soul glam sound with the introduction of R&B influences including funky keyboards and the gospel-sounding 'Cosmic Choir'. Moving on again, 1975's 'Bolan's Zip Gun' caught the prevailing zeitgeist, channelling Bolan's sound at times with a proto-punk back-to-basics approach. 1976's gorgeous 'Futuristic Dragon' was a late T.Rex classic, a mature and confident collection of timeless hooks and effortless melodies (including the hit single 'New York City'). Finally, on further chart singles like 'I Love to Boogie' and 'Light of Love' the last studio album before Bolan's untimely death, 1977's 'Dandy in the Underworld' still stands as a reminder of a huge talent the music world lost way too soon. All eight albums in this beautifully designed collection come in 2 4-pocket wallets with original album sleeves and a booklet featuring complete lyrics.

I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.
The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
