{"product_id":"t-rex-1974-1977","title":"T.REX - 1974-1977","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2LP version of the Marc Bolan \/ T. Rex collection '1974-1977' culls the cream from a plethora of previously unreleased rehearsal takes and studio demos, from arguably the most adventurous and pioneering period of Marc's career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLovingly mastered and curated from a stash of Marc's own tapes unearthed towards the end of 2024, the recordings are a fascinating document of an artist brimming with renewed vim and creativity. They also document how Marc and his super-hot band kept the tapes rolling when recording all over the world, from London to the USA, to Germany and France and back to London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded of course is I'm Dazed, the \"lost\" T. Rex single unearthed from those tape boxes in 2024. Remastered and released on cosmic yellow seven-inch on Marc's birthday in 2025 (with a new take of Billy Super Duper on it's B-side), it helped mark the occasion of Marc being awarded an official English Heritage Blue Plaque. The honour made him just one of 5 pop musicians to ever receive the accolade, alongside Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo very different takes of I'm Dazed shimmer here: the 2025 single version remixed by Steven Wilson, and another, much slower take, led by languid drums, clavinet and piano. 74-77 comes in 2LP packaging with photography by Kevin Cummins,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set was curated for Demon by \"T. Rexpert\" Martin Barden and mastering undertaken by AIR Studios' Phil Kinrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"T.
