Album Notes
Includes liner notes by Martin Barden.
This is part of the T. Rex Unchained series.
These rough, unreleased songs and song fragments come from 1972, the tail end of the era of T. Rextacy. While credited to Bolan and T. Rex, these recordings are chiefly Bolan's private creations, recorded in no-frills home-demo versions. Despite their minimalism, the tracks herein provide a glimpse of the Bolan behind the top hat and feather boa.
Many of these fragments invite listeners to wonder what they could have become, while revealing Bolan's many influences. "Is it True" and "Shake it Wind" sound a lot like HUNKY DORY-era Bowie. Bolan's vocal on "Would I Be the One" recalls the young John Lennon, while the choppy strumming in "City Port (Fast Punk) shows that it could indeed have become a proper punk song--a full five years before punk emerged. Tracks like "Bolan's Blues" echo T. Rex of the same era, when Bolan combined dirty blues and early rock into the hybrid that came to be called glam. The title characters in "Mr. Motion" and "Zinc Rider." show familiar elements of Bolan's personal iconography of mythic beings, exemplified in singles like "Metal Guru" and "Telegram Sam."
