 | | Description: | Bang a gong and get it on. At once sardonic, flamboyant, and
trashy, T. Rexâ??s uncommonly unique Electric Warrior catapulted
leader Marc Bolan to stardom, triggered an ongoing fascination
with glam rock, and launched a movement that soon involved David
Bowie, Roxy Music, and more. Yet none of those namesake artists
ever released a record that out-glammed, out-thrusted, or outcamped
Electric Warriorâ??named the 160th Greatest Album of All
Time by Rolling Stone. Bursting with excessive fun and unchecked
libido, T. Rexâ??s catchy boogies, shuffles, and vamps scoot by on
a seemingly impossible blend of concise hooks, non-sequitur
fantasies, and theatrical swagger. The 1971 landmark remains a
rewardingly strange, parallel universe of sound, style, and sex that
still has no equal.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelityâ??s state-of-the-art mastering system, the
labelâ??s 180g 45RPM 2LP set and hybrid SACD give Electric Warrior
the widescreen sonics it has always deserved. Tony Viscontiâ??s warm,
reverb-soaked production and Roy Thomas Bakerâ??s ace engineering
remain two of the workâ??s most revered aspects. On these collectible
reissues, the production and music can be experienced in all its
full-tilt glory, from the subtle albeit elegant classical touches to the
instantly identifiable Les Paul guitar licks to Bolanâ??s sensual, wispy,
are-they-or-arenâ??t-they-serious vocals. All such elements and more
come to life with a realism, vibrancy, and textural palpability that
surpass the presentation of any prior edition. If you can hear colors,
these audiophile versions will stimulate your inner synesthesia. - Digitally remastered and expanded 40th anniversary edition of the Glam Rock act's breakthrough album featuring original album producer Tony Visconti's remastered version.
