Limited six 180gm red, white, and blue colored vinyl LP set. Having risen to superstardom through 1971, 1972 saw Marc Bolan attain the heights of "T. Rexmania" or "T. Rextasy", as the press dubbed the frenzy that took over the UK's music scene. This box set celebrates that year. For the first time, it brings together the 1972 studio recordings, broadcasts and performances made by Bolan and his band, T. Rex, putting the listener into the shoes of a T. Rex fan that year: singles, albums, live concerts, radio broadcasts, a film soundtrack and more. The box set contains: The Slider album, Live At Wembley: The Matinee Show (plus two previously unreleased 1972 mixes from The Evening Show), Born To Boogie - The Soundtrack Album (issued in full for the first time), Marc Bolan's US Radio Sessions, Rex on the BBC in 1972 (featuring rare version of 'Telegram Sam' from the Christmas Top Of The Pops), 1972 B-sides, and the T. Rex Fan Club 1972 Christmas Record flexi-disc plus Illustrated 24 page 12x12 book including essays by Tony Visconti and Mark Paytress.
