¡Strange Orchestra
¡Tyrannosaurus Rex
Description
[Machine Translation] A compilation of early sessions, demos, and live performances from the Tyrannosaurus Rex era, the predecessor of T. Rex, by Marc Bolan, the Light of Love Foundation, and Easy Action, which manages the T. Rex archives. Disc 1 features the debut album "Tyrannosaurus Rex! ( 1968), and disc 2 is a compilation of 28 demos, outtakes, and live performances recorded between 1968 and 1969, after the band's debut with Visconti and before Steve Tuck left the band. Disc 2 contains 28 songs, including demos, outtakes, and live recordings made between 1968 and 1969, the period when Visconti met and debuted, and when Steve Took left the band. Initially, as an acoustic duo of Marc Bolan and Steve Took, the label's tracks were produced by Joe Boyd, known for his work with folk artists such as Fairport Convention and Nick Drake, and sessions (12 tracks) were conducted. After much trial and error, the band met Tony Visconti, who would go on to produce their debut album, and the documentary is an interesting look at the process of establishing their unique sound, which is like a "mysterious orchestra. Also, you can't miss Danny Thompson of Pentangle on double bass during Joe Boyd's sessions. Bilingual English commentary is included.
