Following the Q4 2024 'Bolan Boogie' definitive hits package, Demon Records are thrilled to present a companion piece in the form of 'Bolan B Sides', a brand new collection of B sides and bonus tracks from T Rex's hit packed 1972-1977 period
Before Marc Bolan's untimely passing in 1977, T. Rex were a cultural phenomenon that defined a generation. The fervour even earned its own name: Trextasy," a frenzy not seen since the height of Beatlemania.
Hidden away on the flips to some of the band's era defining singles, were some of Bolan's most captivating musical moments. The 27 track 'Bolan B Sides' brings them together, representing an alternative journey from 'Telegram Sam' to 'Celebrate Summer'.
Despite their flipside positions, many of the tracks included might easily have been hit singles in their own right . Among the many, we're talking Cadilac ', Thunderwing ', 'Jitterbug Love', 'Lady', 'Born To Boogie' and 'Sunken Rags'. The collection also features vocal contributions from Gloria Jones, adding a soulful allure to some tracks.
Exclusively released for RSD2025, with full song lyrics and pressed on 140g Blue Vinyl
