Box set includes five CDs, a DVD, Electric Warrior stickers and an illustrated booklet containing liner notes by T. Rex members Mickey Finn, Steve Currie, Bill Legend, and several unpublished photos. This set captures the four piece group at the height of their popularity during the period when Marc's success was dubbed by the press as “T-Rextasy”. Across the six discs is a wealth of previously unheard material including home demos of Marc and the band rehearsing and working on songs for the legendary Electric Warrior album and features the song Electric Warrior which was to give the band the title of the album although the song was left in the vault at the time and has never previously been heard!

Brilliant 2007 three CD set that celebrates the life and music of Marc Bolan, released to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of his untimely death at the age of 29. This triple disc set picks up just after the success of his Electric Warrior album when Bolan set up his own label and became the biggest Rock superstar in the UK since the Beatles. Featuring over 90 tracks spanning the years '72 to '77, this box features hits, album tracks, alternate mixes, live versions, demos, radio jingles and so much more. Painstakingly pieced together, Interstellar Soul is a stellar set. The 28 page color book contains full annotation by Mark Paytress, Bolan authority and author of the definitive Marc Bolan biography, as well as many previously unpublished photos by Barry Plummer.

Before T. Rex assaulted the world with their glam rock party in the early '70s, there was the folk duo Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although both bands were fronted by flamboyant singer/guitarist/songwriter Marc Bolan, the earlier outfit was the polar opposite of the style of music that would later become synonymous with Bolan. Tyrannosaurus Rex originally formed in September of 1967 as a duo after Bolan split from his previous band, John's Children. Joining Bolan in the band was percussionist/bongo player Steve Peregrin Took, a gentleman that Bolan named after a character in The Lord of the Rings novel series. Bolan was so infatuated with Rings that most of the subject matter in Tyrannosaurus Rex songs came directly from the books as well.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's transformation from oracles of U.K. hippie culture to boogie-friendly rock stars began with the album A Beard of Stars, released in early 1970 when the band picked up electric instruments, and by the time the year was out, Marc Bolan had pared their name down to the more user-friendly T. Rex and dropped their first album with the new moniker…

Since Marc Bolan's own label issued its first greatest-hits package back in 1973, there has been no shortage of collections rounding up the peerless sequence of 18 singles (some with multiple B-sides) released between January 1972 and Bolan's death in September 1977. Indeed, this set was itself just a few months old when its contents were redistributed across two box sets' worth of CD singles, each one replicating the original U.K. 45. As a simple one-stop chronological gathering of the Bolan jukebox at its born-to-boogie best, however, this two-disc package is hard to beat. In common with the two single-disc collections that it supersedes, the discs are divided neatly between A-sides (disc one) and B-sides…

Following the success of Edsel’s book sets of the Tanx and Zinc Alloy albums, and Bolan’s Zip Gun and Futuristic Dragon, as well as Born To Boogie, they now present the final T. Rex album, 1977’s Dandy In The Underworld. Produced by Marc Bolan, the album features the hit singles I Love To Boogie (# 13), Dandy In the Underworld and The Soul Of My Suit. Celebrate Summer, the last single released in Bolan’s lifetime, is included as a bonus track along with several other non-album A- and B-sides. For this deluxe media book edition, Edsel have added 36 bonus outtakes, demos and alternate mixes, 20 of which are previously unreleased. These have been mastered from original first generation tapes in the possession of two dedicated fans – this is the first time these tapes have been used.
