Glam rock found its blueprint on Electric Warrior, and this limited Japanese pressing gives T. Rex's 1971 landmark the import treatment collectors chase.
Marc Bolan had already shed the acoustic whimsy of Tyrannosaurus Rex, plugging in and cutting the band name down to something punchier. With producer Tony Visconti at the desk, he made an album that married boogie swagger to cosmic poetry, and Britain went wild for it. Teenage screams, glitter and feather boas followed, along with a wave of imitators.
The hits still crackle with electricity. Bang A Gong (Get It On) struts on a riff so lean it barely needs the rest of the band, while Jeepster bounces with sly, flirtatious charm. Mambo Sun opens the record with a lazy, hip-swinging pulse, Bolan purring like a cat in a sunbeam.
Cosmic Dancer is the album's soft heart, Visconti's strings curling around Bolan's tender, slightly unsettling meditation on dancing from womb to tomb. Elsewhere, Flo and Eddie's falsetto backing vocals add a giddy, cartoonish sheen that became part of the T. Rex signature sound.
Bowie, Roxy Music and countless punk bands all took notes from this record. It remains essential listening, and this Japanese pressing is a treat on any turntable.
