T-Rex – Electric Warrior (2LPs, 45RPM, Mobile Fidelity)

The second studio album by the British band T.Rex from 1971 is a classic. One of the two releases was “Get It On”, T.Rex’s best-selling single ever and the band’s only top ten title in the USA. Electric Warrior turned Marc Bolan into a glam rock star overnight. He created a trend that the likes of David Bowie, Roxy Music and Mott the Hoople soon followed. Tony Visconti’s warm, low-reverb production and Roy Thomas Baker’s first-class recording technique are undoubtedly important components of the album’s success.
