Product Description

From Amazon.com

David Bowie's glammed-out Ziggy Stardust may have inspired much British critical hype at the dawn of the '70s, but it was Marc Bolan's T. Rex whose infectious blend of rock roots and mystic troubadour conceits were the era's biggest teen-frenzy pop phenomena. Ringo Starr was so enamored of "T. Rexstasy" that he set about making a loose documentary on Bolan and band, one whose loose flights of improvisational cinema seem as dizzy as they do substance-fueled. This double-disc soundtrack to Born to Boogie's painstakingly restored and expanded DVD release is a fascinating, warts-and-all slice of pop history, mixing concert performances of key hits like "Jeepster," "Get It On," and "Hot Love" with live-in-the-studio rave-ups of "Tutti Frutti" and "Children of the Revolution," featuring backing by Ringo and Elton John. The "Tea Party Medley" is one strange soirée of hits, while disc two presents the only complete recording of a T. Rex show, capturing the band's triumphant Wembley homecoming on March 18, 1972, in all its screaming teen glory. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Two CD set from boppin' Bolan and his T.Rex mates. Disc One features the soundtrack to the motion picture Born To Boogie, which was directed by fan (and former Beatle) Ringo Starr. Disc Two features a complete T.Rex live performance recorded during the movie-making experience but never released in it's entirety (it is one of only two full concerts ever recorded with T.Rex). Also featured is the jam between Marc, Ringo and Elton John, where they perform 'Tutti Frutti' and 'Children Of The Revolution'. Prepare to be blown away by a band at the height of their success. Sanctuary. 2005.
