  • Description

    Preceded by some of Bolan's most fondly-remembered singles, "Children Of The Revolution", "Solid Gold Easy Action" and the classic "20th Century Boy", 1973's Tanx was the first T. Rex album to make full use of the ever-expanding range of studio gadgets. And while the album represented a new musical departure, several tracks maintained a direct link to the old sound. � The album reached number 4 in the UK album charts and has gone on to influence numerous musicians from Suede to Depeche Mode's Martin Gore. � This edition includes the complete album remastered by producer Tony Visconti and Ted Jensen. Pressed on 180g clear vinyl for the first time.

    Description

    Artwork recreated by legendary designer Kosh Design, responsible for The Beatles 'Abbey Road' & The Who's 'Who's Next!'.

    Picture disc features rare colour photo of Marc Bolan.

    Limited to 3000 copies.


    Tanx is the 1973 studio album by legendary band T Rex. The eighth album since their debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1968, and the fourth under the moniker T Rex.


    Recorded at the height of Bolanmania, and produced by Tony Visconti, Tanx was a musical departure from previous works. Still containing tracks in the vein of The Slider, singer and songwriter Marc Bolan showed his interest in soul music, funk and gospel. Tracks include Tenement Lady, Bolan Boogie & Mad Donna.


    The artwork for this special edition has been recreated by the original designer John Kosh, former creative director at Apple Records and the designer behind iconic album covers like the Beatles' Abbey Road and The Who's Who's Next.


    This special picture disc edition has a previously unseen colour image of Marc Bolan taken by Peter Howe, from the legendary photo session.


    Limited to 3000 copies exclusively for RSD Black Friday 2024.


    It's a unique collector's item for fans of T. Rex and vinyl enthusiasts alike, capturing a significant moment in music history with updated and exclusive artwork.

    Description

    March 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of the release of the T. Rex album "Tanx". Recorded at the height of Bolanmania, and produced by Tony Visconti, the album was preceded by the huge hit singles "Children Of The Revolution", "Solid Gold Easy Action" and "20th Century Boy", all of which have been added to CD1, along with their B-sides.

    In this special 2CD set, CD2 contains "The Alternate Tanx: Left Hand Luke", a bonus disc of 23 fascinating 'work-in-progress' versions and demos, which (as far as possible) mirrors the original album's running order.

    The two CDs are presented in brand new seven-inch deluxe gatefold packaging, with an 8-page booklet which includes the lyrics, plus annotation about the bonus disc.
