T-Rex "The Slider" (1972)
Much prefer this to 'Electric Warrior'. I heard title track when I was a
kid, on a compilation of 70s music my parents had. Slider stood out
head and shoulders above everything else (which is saying sommat because
there was some pretty great stuff on there).
I quite enjoy that the songs here have a bit of variety, but still manage to retain a cohesive 'album' sound.
According to the book, Bolan would lose interest in a song if it took
more than 2 or 3 takes, leading to a certain spontaneity to the energy
of the songs.
