T. Rex — Electric Warrior (180 Gram LP)

If you follow rock and roll back far enough, you end up somewhere swampy and electric — and Marc Bolan knew it. Electric Warrior is the record where T. Rex crystallised glam rock into something timeless, but underneath the glitter and the riffs, the Blues is doing the heavy lifting. Bolan practically admits it on Lean Woman Blues, while Bang A Gong (Get It On) rides a groove that Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters would both recognise. Boogie-woogie dressed in velvet and stardust. This Rhino 180-gram pressing does the original recording full justice — warm, full, and built to last.
