Though often grouped in with England's glam movement, Marc Bolan's T. Rex rode its own peculiar white swan through 1970s pop-rock. Part Chuck Berry, part Shakespeare's Puck, the corkscrew-haired Bolan dressed up his sexy songs with velvet purrs and cosmic, Lewis Carroll-like lyrics. These original recordings—a mix of hits and deep cuts—capture T. Rex during their "Big as the Beatles" reign.
