Análisis (en inglés) - :
With such an overabundance of {$T. Rex} compilations out there, it's pretty darn hard for a newcomer fan to pick which set is the best as a primer/starting point. Well, with the 2006 double-disc {^Children of the Revolution: An Introduction to Marc Bolan}, you've certainly come across one of the better ones -- but not quite definitive. While this impressively assembled collection weighs in at a hefty 45 tracks, it turns out that it starts with tracks that were midway through the "{$T. Rex} mania" of the early '70s. In other words, there's nothing from the classic {^Electric Warrior} album (including {$T. Rex}'s two biggest U.S. hits -- {&"Bang a Gong [Get It On]"} and {&"Jeepster"}), as well as the early hits ({&"Ride a White Swan,"} {&"Hot Love,"} {&"Debora"}). What you do get, however, is a healthy sampling of post-1972 {$T. Rex}, which did include quite a few gems, including the mega U.K. hits {&"Telegram Sam,"} {&"Metal Guru,"} {&"The Groover,"} {&"Solid Gold Easy Action,"} {&"Twentieth Century Boy,"} and the set's title track. But as longtime {$Rexheads} will attest, there were oodles of album tracks and B-sides that could have easily become hits on their own, as evidenced by such selections as {&"Cadillac,"} {&"Baby Strange,"} and {&"Tenement Lady."} And while there's no debate that the quality of latter-day {$T. Rex} tunes didn't match up to the 1970-1972 material, there were still a few worthwhile tracks to be found -- {&"New York City,"} {&"I Love to Boogie,"} and {&"Explosive Mouth."} If you already own a true {$T. Rex} "best-of" (such as 2002's {^20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection}) and want to dig a bit deeper without buying the entire {$T. Rex} studio album catalog, {^Children of the Revolution} should satisfy your {$Bolan} boogie needs. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
