Análisis (en inglés) - :
A lusciously presented two-LP package revives the earlier {^Electric Boogie} CD with revised and corrected source information -- famously among {$Marc Bolan} and {$T. Rex} collectors, {^Electric Boogie} was heralded as a long-lost recording of the band's summer 1971 {~Weeley Festival} showing, only to emerge a collection of cuts from four other shows entirely. Bearing in mind that these shows were taped before the epochal {^Electric Warrior} album, and, thus, concern themselves primarily with material from the transitional {^Beard of Stars}/{^T. Rex} period, it was a fascinating document regardless of provenance. Nevertheless, {^I Danced Myself} can only be applauded for correctly identifying Wolverhampton (May 1971), Lewisham (July 1971), Bournemouth, and Rotterdam (August 1971), and for reprogramming the tracks accordingly. The heavyweight 180 g virgin vinyl, meanwhile, seems to have eased some of the problems out of the CD's sound, giving the entire performance a far fatter feeling. The {^Electric Boogie} material consumes two and a half sides of vinyl; for the remainder of the set, we are treated to a February 1972 American radio broadcast, a solo {$Marc Bolan} airing tracks intended for his next album, {^The Slider}, plus a couple of {^Electric Warrior} standouts. (This material also appears on the {^Till Dawn} and {^Spaceball} albums). The transition in mood between the live and radio material is abrupt -- though a mere six months separated them, an awful lot had happened in that time, and {$Bolan}'s style was changing fast. Still it's a gripping performance, with {$Bolan} in fine voice and cheeky mood, and can one ever tire of hearing {&"Ballroom of Mars"}? ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide
