Marc Bolan, the singular and energetic personality that powered T. Rex has enjoyed a flurry of attention as of late. With remasters, and all manner of revisitation, the T. Rex legacy still in in the upper echelon of fans, who flock to most releases having to do with the band and anything they may have created.
On April 18, the largest label involved in the spread of the T. Rex legacy – Edsel Records UK (Demon Music UK) a 2CD set will be released called Bolan B-Sides. This set will accumulate 25 B-sides from two periods (1972-1973, 1974-1977) and add in 2 newly discovered single bonus tracks that will include “Born To Boogie”, and “Sunken Rags”. The deluxe gatefold packaging of the set will also include lyrics. This 2CD package is intended as a companion piece to the Bolan Boogie release of late last year.
Bolan B-Sides will be issued in the expected 2CD and DD formats.
