T. Rex - Tanx

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON EMI 1973

EMI BLN 5002 made in Denmark.

Vinyl VG+. Cover VG.

By 1973's Tanx, the T. Rex hit-making machine was beginning to show some wear and tear, but Marc Bolan still had more than a few winners up his sleeve. It was also admirable that Bolan was attempting to broaden the T. Rex sound -- soulful backup singers and horns are heard throughout, a full two years before David Bowie used the same formula for his mega-seller Young Americans. However, Tanx did not contain any instantly recognizable hits, as their past couple of releases had, and the performances were not quite as vibrant, due to non-stop touring and drug use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Rex_%28band%29
