MARC BOLAN & T. REX

Marc Bolan and T. Rex - Unchained, Unreleased Recordings 1972-1977 [2010] (8 x CD's)

Superbly packaged collection of Marc's unreleased work from 1972 to his untimely death in 1977. As others have said, this collection ranges from very rough home demo's and work-throughs to some polished completed and unreleased studio tracks and is principally for dedicated fans like myself!! Love the revised notes from Mark Paytrees which provides a great historical summary of some of the tracks. Recommended if you fancy an insight into the working mind of a true artistic genius!!

This unique limited edition collection features new artwork, including rarely seen photos and annotation  by Mark Paytress, journalist and author of the definitive Bolan biography. Between 1994 and 1996, Edsel released eight full-length CDs of Marc Bolan's previously unreleased home demos, alternate takes, unused and abandoned songs, and unfinished recordings. These CD's were deleted in 2001. In late 2010, all eight discs were re-issued in a limited edition deluxe case bound book package. The eight CD's collect 184 Marc Bolan and T. Rex performances, recorded during the 1970s. Some, in a near-finished state, failed to make the final cut. Many others, ranging from spur-of-the-moment home demos to alternate studio takes and jams, were simply abandoned. All were unreleased at the time of Bolan's death in 1977. (Amazon)
