4.0 out of 5 stars Guter Sound, z.T. unveröffentliche Songs 1969-71, October 18, 2001
This review is from: Live At The BBC (Audio CD)
Fast wie ein neues Album
Es gibt von T.Rex viel schlechte wiederveröffentlichungen. Doch dieses Album ist eine freudige Überraschung und Fortsetzung des Sounds von 1970/71.

Es passt in die Stimmung von "Beard of Stars" und "Electric Warrior", d.h. einen Zeitzirkel zieht die BBC von 1971 bis zurück 1969. Was ist in diesen beiden Jahren an Soundentwicklung mit der Gruppe geschehen. Sehr viel. Den ersten Teil der CD hört man (z.T. nie veröffentlichte) gute und ansprechende Songs der Tyrannosaurus Rex, die gut auf "Beard of Stars" oder "Unicorn" gepaßt hätten.

Songs von "Electric Warrior" wie "Jeepster" oder "Life a Gas" hört man in etwas anderer Fassung, es kommt aber nie das Gefühl auf, Datenmüll oder dritte Wahl zu hören.

"Sailors of the Highway" ist eine Überraschung: Wäre der Song Ende 1971 (z.B. statt dem seltsamem "Jeepster" gegen Bolans Willen) als Single veröffentlicht worden: Es wäre ein Hit geworden, zu einer Zeit als T.Rex offenbar keinen Fehler machen konnten. Der Song besticht mit etwas schwerer Melancholie wie "Dove" hat aber einen soliden Rhytmus-Background und die seltsam-geschlechtslos-hysterischen Background Chöre à la "Telegram Sam".

Diese CD (wie auch das Live Konzert der Tyrannosaurus Rex auf CD) ist wie eine reguläre weitere Plattenveröffentlichung der Gruppe unbedingt anschaffenswert.

Kompliment der BBC!! Thomas Richter
