T. Rex
Solid Gold
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1979 UK Compilation Housed In A Laminated Jacket. A2/B3 Stampers. “Two Years After Marc Bolan's Death; One Year Since The Budget Pickwick Label Released A Perfectly Serviceable Greatest-Hits Collection, And Finally, EMI Got Around To Unleashing Their Own: A 16-Track Stomper That Rounds Up Almost Every T. Rex Hit Single From 1972's "Telegram Sam" Through To 1977's "Dandy In The Underworld." As Such, A Couple Of Gems Are Missing — Most Notably The Valedictory "Celebrate Summer." But The Shortfall Is Compensated For With The Addition Of The Often-Overlooked Album Cut "Mystic Lady" (From The Slider). And, At The Time, Solid Gold Was Regarded As An Essential Collection. Today, Of Course, Any Number Of Cds Have Utterly Superseded It, But The Title Remains As Truthful As It Should Be. This Stuff Really Was Solid Gold.” AMG - Dave Thompson
