T.Rex - Whatever Happened To The Teenage Dream - 4CD Boxset

Four CD set. This instalment in the acclaimed 'Year' series of the works of Marc Bolan and T. Rex takes in a period of change during which Bolan was very active in recording studios in the US and Europe. This set includes the Tanx and Zinc Alloy albums, and the non-album hit singles and their B-sides. CD3 features demos and outtakes from both albums, whilst CD4 focuses on Bolan's forays into soul music, including highlights of the abandoned album he wrote and produced for Sister Pat Hall. The singles included are 'Children Of The Revolution', 'Solid Gold Easy Action', '20th Century Boy', 'The Groover', 'Truck On (Tyke)' and 'Teenage Dream'. The 44-page perfect-bound booklet contains a brand new 16,000 word essay by acknowledged Bolan authority Mark Paytress (author of the definitive Bolan biography), detailing Bolan's life through this eventful period. Also featured are many previously unpublished photos taken by Keith Morris in the course of 1973, as well as ephemera from the era.
