John Eckman<p><strong>T. Rex, T. Rextasy: The Best of T. Rex, 1970-1973, 1985 on Warner Bros.</strong></p><p>Mid-eighties compilation of T. Rex. Between 1970 and 1973, the band had eleven top 10 singles in the UK – including many here. Produced by Tony Visconti. </p><p>I came to T. Rex indirectly through The Replacements (who covered “20th Century Boy” on Let it Be), Bauhaus (who covered “Telegram Sam”) and The Power Station (who covered “Bang a Gong”) as well as all the Bowie intersections and references. </p><p>My copy, via Beverly Coin & Jewel in Beverly MA, included an ad for <a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/15629681-Marc-Bolan-Marc-Bolan-On-Video" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Marc Bolan on Video</a> – available in VHS or Beta from Passport Music / JEM (see image below). </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1970" target="_blank">#1970</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1973" target="_blank">#1973</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1985" target="_blank">#1985</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/beverly-coin-jewel" target="_blank">#BeverlyCoinJewel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/beverly-ma" target="_blank">#BeverlyMA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/marc-bolan" target="_blank">#MarcBolan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/reissue" target="_blank">#Reissue</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/t-rex" target="_blank">#TRex</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/tony-visconti" target="_blank">#TonyVisconti</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinyl" target="_blank">#vinyl</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylcollection" target="_blank">#vinylcollection</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylfinds" target="_blank">#vinylfinds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/warner-brothers" target="_blank">#WarnerBrothers</a></p>
