Análisis (en inglés) - :
Beware, newcomers to {$T. Rex} and {$Marc Bolan}: the title of this import from England is misleading. It's not a {$T. Rex} greatest hits package. Before {$Marc Bolan} found fame with the rocking four-piece {$T. Rex}, he was a folk artist who performed with just a percussionist, and went by the name {$Tyrannosaurus Rex}. And judging by such long-winded and inadvertently hilarious song titles like {&"She Was Born to Be My Unicorn"} and "Warlord of the Royal Crocodiles," it's obvious why {$Tyrannosaurus Rex} never hit it big. The early folk material just isn't up to par with the stomping glitter rock that {$Bolan} would later perfect and which would eventually become his trademark. Out of the 24 tracks that appear on {^The Collection}, 17 are from {$Bolan's} rambling folk period, with just seven taken from his re-discovery of rock era. One redeeming quality about the compilation is the inclusion of 3 songs from the group's still out-of-print self-titled 1970 release. One of the tracks, the melancholy ballad "Seagull Woman," is the record's highlight, and sounds ripe for {$the Smashing Pumpkins} to cover. Also included are well-known {$T. Rex} nuggets "Jeepster," "Ride A White Swan," and "Mambo Sun." Ultimately, {^The Collection} will appeal to {$Marc Bolan} fanatics listening for the best of his early folk material (which has been out of print for some time, I wonder why?). It's definitely not recommended for those interested in hearing the best of {$T. Rex's} hits, because there are very few well-known hits included. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
