some people just don't seem to get how Bolan could have produced such different material (all of it good) of course Electric Warrior and The Silder but so are all his albums in different ways - Tanx was a TV Album and some didn't like it because Bolan always liked to change - I regularly listen to all the Bolan albums the 12 and the others pre and post
IMHO Bolan Zip Gun is one of his best. Still sounds relevant today. Not a bad track on it. All good musicians change direction to keep it fresh. Brilliant song from an amazing album!
I agree 100 percent with DAVWAVE. T. Rex's only great sounding material is that from 1971 to 1973. After that, they SUCKED. Light Of Love is a terrible excuse of an album, because Gloria RUINED it!! Electric Warrior is among one of my most favorite albums of all time, and The Slider is great, but Light Of Love was terrible.
Change is coming just like the sun .... change is coming you better run !! This is a wonderful sound and totally Marc ! A true innovator ! I'm glad he split from Visconti .
It got listened to my millions of adoring T-Rex fans and they went to shock at the change in his sound. Call it what you will, the recording bombed. Listen to this non-sense in comparison to Electric Warrior. Bolan had canned Tony V and went his own way.
@BlazeInRhye For me itt is ruined by Gloria. I know I may be over critical of her, but due to the fact I loved what Marc Bolan was doing musically, and to think she claimed to be all with it and now about music, and she could not notice she damagaed his sound. Not to mention his health went down during her watch.
She harsed the buzz of more than a few. I did buy the record and listened to it enough to get over the fact Gloria's voice was on it making it a downturn in his career.
@DAVWAVE Are you listening to yourself? So you knew BEFOREHAND that you didn't like this song and so you commented on it to bitch about it? What kind of mindset it that? You're not going to coerce anyone out of liking it, you're just making yourself appear like a WALLOPING CUNT.

@DAVWAVE True. This is because he bagan producing his own albums. This stuff is good, but nothing compared to the Glam rock era.
