The veiled seduction knife-edged swagger of Bolan's boogie is back a huh-huh. That's right patients, Marc Bolan has chained our hearts to our rock ‘n roll stethoscopes and "T.Rextasy" is, again, in full bloom here... causing the doctors and nursemaids here at the asylum to put dashes of glitter on our rock 'n roll stethoscopes.King of the Asylum Commeth
Bolan's rock 'n roll turing point happened when he shortened the name from Tyrannosaurus Rex to the dino-ragin' T. Rex and released "Ride A White Swan." But it was "Hot Love" that changed it all. Released as a four-piece, in 1971, the 12-bar bebopin' electric swinging sounds of T.Rex's second single "Hot Love" became their first number one hit; sittin' on the toppa the U.K. charts for six weeks (March-April 71). The two original B-Sides: "Woodland Rock" and "King Of The Mountain Cometh," both non-album tracks are ablaze with stinging cosmic grooves that radiate magic medicine.
On "Hot Love" a splendid time is guaranteed for all... the mystic peddler and his band create some six-string glitter boogie grooves that we can't get outta the speakers here at the asylum press office. Think a fuzzed-up folk-pop-nursery rhyme with a la la la la la la la singalong finale in the vein of "Hey Jude".
Take Up Thy Rock 'N Roll Stethoscope and Walk,
Enjoy these 3cc of T.Rex...
