Análisis (en inglés) - :
It seems that {$T. Rex} are much more appreciated today than they were when they roamed the earth in the '70s. Certainly this is true outside of Britain. And that is why there has been a constant stream of best-of albums and various obscure archeological finds from long-forgotten recording sessions and concerts. The German compilation {^Solid Gold: The Best of T Rex} is a combination of both of these things. On the one hand you have the classic cuts like {&"Telegram Sam,"} {&"Metal Guru,"} {&"Children of the Revolution,"} and more, from when the band was at their hit-single zenith in the early '70s. But then there are the more insipid songs like the {\pop}-by-numbers {&"Think Zinc,"} the formula {\bop} of {&"Light of Love,"} and the wishy-washy pseudopsychedelia of {&"The Soul of My Suit."} Added to this are weak live versions of three of the band's finest songs: {&"Jeepster,"} {&"Hot Love,"} and {&"Get It On"} (the latter, renamed {&"Bang a Gong (Get It On)"} for U.S. release, is an 11-minute jam with support band {$the Damned}). And then there's the fact that {^Electric Warrior} -- the album that broke {$Marc Bolan} and his mates into the big time and helped launch the whole {\glam rock} movement -- is only represented by two of those live tracks. Any album with so many hits from this remarkable band cannot be simply cast aside. But fans can grab a better slice of {$T. Rex} by getting their hands on one of the more comprehensive hits albums such as {^20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection} (though, unfortunately, the anthemic strutter {&"The Groover"} is conspicuously absent from this set). ~ Adrian Zupp, All Music Guide
