This review is from: Best Of Marc Bolan & T. Rex: 1972-1977 (Audio CD)

This particular "best of" is a tad misleading in its title.

Roughly half the tracks are run throughs and not much better in quality than those found on the "Unchained" series.

The companion to this, "Volume Two" does give the buyer finished master tracks, and is therefore a better proposition. It also gives a better overview of all the T.Rex Wax Company singles and better cuts Marc Bolan gave us up until his demise in 1977.
