Rex (or, as it had mostly been known, Tyrannosaurus Rex) was a folk-rock duo that played acoustic guitar and bongos augmented by the occasional electric and full drum kit. While some of the hippie-prophet philosophy that dominated Tyrannosaurus Rex's music can still be heard here (especially on the dreamy geneology of \"Cosmic Dancer\"), ELECTRIC WARRIOR, for the most part, represents a revolution in attitude and approach. Singer\/songwriter\/guitarist Marc Bolan expanded the band here for a full rock sound, and focused on lean, hook-heavy pop songs that relied on slinky grooves and the riveting energy of early rock \u0026amp; roll. Married to Bolan's cheeky sexuality and theatrical flair, the results were undeniable.From the mid-tempo thump of \"Mambo Sun\" to the crashing yowl of \"Rip Off,\" ELECTRIC WARRIOR is fuzzy, nasty, and immediately appealing. Songs like \"Jeepster\" and \"Bang A Gong\" pump straight from the elemental heart of rock \u0026amp; roll, yet the songs are fleshed out beautifully with strings, handclaps, backup vocals, and Tony Visconti's expansive production. Bolan's glitzy, sexy aesthetic directly sparked the glam movement (he was a huge influence on David Bowie and the creation of his Ziggy Stardust persona), while his punchy, back-to-basics approach also presaged the stripped-down, three-minute song attack of the Ramones and the punk movement in the later '70s. As a result, ELECTRIC WARRIOR can be seen as one of the most enduring and quietly influential records in the rock canon.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453591134552,"sku":"DVNFV4-L7AS-00","price":4.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8324\/6424\/files\/TRex-ELECTRIC-WARRIOR-ROCKTOBER-2017-EXCLUSIVE_PRbAn.jpg?v=1780663283","url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/t-rex-electric-warrior-rocktober-2017-exclusive-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
