Description

Marc Bolan’s pivot from psych-folk to lean, electric rock lands here. The self-titled set balances acoustic charm with early glam attitude- tight songs, close-up vocals, and that unmistakable Bolan glide. A desirable Reprise reel for collectors, with warm tape presence on essentials like “Beltane Walk,” “Diamond Meadows,” and “One Inch Rock.”

Tape Review

T. Rex catches Bolan mid-pivot from mystical folk to electric glam. On this factory reel the band arrives as a single organism: congas lean and wooden, bass lines glide without bloat, and Bolan’s sibilants stay silky instead of splashy. Image is locked, the midrange is human, and micro-dynamics bloom—more “players in a room” than “ink on plastic.”
About Four Track Tapes

Two-track stereo reels grew out of early post-war tape, when consumer releases were mostly mono (often with a “flip the reel” second side). Once in-line two-track (half-track) became standard, big tracks at 7.5 ips made great jazz and classical sound incredibly real. The industry eventually moved to 4-track because it was cheaper and offered more playing time- learn more here.
