Análisis (en inglés) - :
First, full disclosure is necessary as to what's missing. Ready? On this glorious 38-track, double-CD collection, there isn't one track from {$T. Rex}'s {^Electric Warrior}. That's right, {&"Bang a Gong,"} {&"Mambo Sun,"} and {&"Jeepster"} are all absent. Why? Simple: it appears {@Warner} is recalcitrant to license that wondrous album to anyone in any form. It turns out that this is simply a small complaint because none of the tracks from {^Electric Warrior} should be separated from its full corpus anyway -- it is an album in the purest and more literal sense of the world. Getting to what is here, listeners do get tracks from that beautiful slab {^The Slider} as well as {^Tanx}, {^Light of Love} , {^Bolan's Zip Gun}, {^Dandy in the Underworld}, {^Futuristic Dragon}, and a slew of 45s never issued on LP. If you are looking for {&"Sunken Rags,"} it's here; if you need {&"Mad Donna,"} it's also here. So are {&"Metal Guru,"} {&"Telegram Sam,"} {&"Solid Gold Easy Action,"} {&"Children of the Revolution,"} {&"Baby Strange,"} {&"20th Century Boy,"} {&"Satisfaction Pony,"} and {&"Born to Boogie."} Right, it's packed with nary a dolt in the whole mess. While much of this -- in fact all of it -- has been compiled in other places, this one's remastered sound takes precedence over the rest of the lot. If you are enough of a {$Marc Bolan} freak to want a {$T. Rex} orgy once in a while and don't need all the studio LPs, but you're not a rabid completist, then pick this one up, add to it that remastered version of {^Electric Warrior}, and you will have a listening -- or party -- experience of thoroughly unexpected results at your disposal. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
