Diy sub-label of EMI Records: T.
Rex were a British rock band, formed in 1967 by singer-songwriter and guitarist
Marc Bolan. The band formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex, releasing four underground
folk albums under the name. Tony Visconti (their producer for several albums)
claimed in a documentary on the band that he had taken to using the abbreviated
term "T. Rex" as a shorthand, something that initially irritated Bolan, who
gradually came around to the idea and officially shortened the band's name to
"T. Rex" at roughly the same time they started having big hits (shortly after
going electric). In the early to mid 1970s, the band reached huge success with
fourteen top-20 hits: "Jeepster", "Get It On", "Ride a White Swan", "Solid Gold
Easy Action", "Children of the Revolution", "Hot Love", "Telegram Sam", "20th
Century Boy", "Debora", "Teenage Dream", "The Groover", "New York City", "I Love
To Boogie" and "Metal Guru". During this period the band also released six UK
top-30 albums, including Electric Warrior, which hit the top of the album
charts. Distributed By Total Record Company.
