Simply Kids

All eight original T. Rex studio albums, plus two bonus CD of non-album tracks, in card wallets in a box, with a 16 page booklet. Recorded between 1970 and 1977, Marc Bolan’s best-known favourites are included, including “Get It On”, “Metal Guru”, “Telegram Sam”, “Children Of The Revolution” and “20th Century Boy” are included…

The line-up on this newly released bootleg is said to consist of Florian Schneider, Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger, which tells us that this was probably recorded in that short period of time in 1971, estimated to 6 months, when Ralf Hütter had left the band. Supposedly, the recording was made at the Gondel Kino in Bremen, Germany on June 25, 1971. And it's an interesting recording.

The ongoing Motorpsycho archaeology project, which began with a 4CD box set based on 1994 breakthrough album Timothy’s Monster, sidesteps the band’s detour into country rock with The Tussler to pick up the trail with 1995’s Blissard. This new 4CD set contains the original album plus contemporaneous EPs, stray cuts, studio experimentation, and an entire, previously unreleased album…

Simply the great 100 tracks compilation! Not only the well-know and classic hits (Otis Redding - My Girl, Ben. E. King - Stand by me, Tina Turner - The Best, Sheena Easton - Morning Train (Nine to Five), Solomon Burke - Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, Sister Sledge - We are Family, Deep Purple - Black Night etc.), but as well Ramones, Jethro Tull, Paolo Nutini, Birdy, Biffy Clyro, Randy Crawford, Twisted Sister, The Stooges, Dr. Feelgood and many many more. Just excellent!
