Rex's 1976 album FUTURISTIC DRAGON contains a remastered edition of the original LP, three singles not included on the album as well as 20 tracks of outtakes and rarities that reflect the process that led to the final product. This remarkable collection is essential for fans of 1970s era rock. U.K. import contains a color book of notes, lyrics, and photography. By the mid-'70s, Marc Bolan's T. Rex had fallen on hard times. Bolan, who remained the essential element in the band, began experimenting with soul/funk sounds and collaborating with his wife, singer Gloria Jones, with mixed results. While 1976's FUTURISTIC DRAGON didn't hit the charts as hard as T. Rex's earlier classics ELECTRIC WARRIOR, SLIDER, and TANX had, it finds Bolan back on track. "New York City" turned out to be one of Bolan's final U.K. hits before his untimely death one year later. Other highlights include the orchestrated instrumental "Theme for a Dragon," and the upbeat power pop of "Chrome Sitar."
