Marc Bolan & T. Rex
Given that the T. Rex/Marc Bolan catalog is cluttered with collections, all recycling much of the same material, it's easy to be suspicious of another hits compilation, such as Hip-0's 2002 release 20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection, especially if it's billed as an "ultimate" retrospective. Against all odds, this 23-track disc really is ...

Billy Elliot
(2000)
more music like this
by
Original Soundtrack
Like any soundtrack with aspirations of being hip, the soundtrack to the heart-warming Brit comedy-drama Billy Elliot is peppered with dialogue from the film -- a tactic that was entertaining in 1993, when Reservoir Dogs popularized it, but it had lost its charm by 2000. But, if you can ignore that dialogue and concentrate on the music, you have a ...

Marc Bolan fans who find this U.K. release while browsing record shelves should rejoice with a gruff Bolan-esque "Yeah!" An overabundance of T. Rex compilations has tried to capture the full span of the godfather of glam rock's career, with very few succeeding -- 20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection being the most likely choice. Greatest Hits ...

The first (but certainly not the last) of the compilations issued in the wake of T.

The catalog at their disposal was vast, ...

Universal UK's 2007 release Bolan at the Beeb is a valuable triple-disc collection that rounds up all existing BBC recordings that Marc Bolan made, tracing his evolution from Tyrannosaurus Rex to T. Rex. The value in the set is not quite in its rarity -- these sessions have been released in a number of forms before -- but rather in its convenience ...

Prior to the long-delayed release of the Born to Boogie soundtrack album, T.

Although Marc Bolan and T.

And, regardless of whether or not the compilers of this set took that package as their benchmark, the best possible ...
