" The SLIDER "
They had a run of ten consecutive singles that were all destined to finish in the top four UK chart slots. They achieved a total of four number ones and four more reached number two. From The SLIDER came two of those chart topping singles “Telegram Sam” and “Metal Guru”. They were to be his last number one records. By the end of 1974 glam-rock sales were in decline, yet only to surge in classic time ...
On September 16, 1977, Marc was killed when the Mini-sports car collided with a tree in Barnes, West London. He was just two weeks short of his 30th birthday. The 'death" tree is now a permanent shrine to his memory, is always adorned with flowers and tributes. - no split seams, no color fades, gatefold is flat & square ... ask questions further, any issues are minor

The SLIDER, which was released in July 1972, had been recorded at the famous Chateau D’Herouville near Paris and in Copenhagen. Once again Tony Visconti handled production. T.Rex consisted of Marc, bass player Steve Currie, drummer Bill Legend and Mickey Finn who added backing vocals and hand percussion. If Electric Warrior had propelled T.Rex into the super league, The Slider certainly helped confirm that position.
The SLIDER opens with a hit single on both sides of this highly collectible album. Side one links together well with “Mystic Lady”, “The Slider”, and the nicely chilled “Space Ricochet” all totally standing out. “Rock On” with vague reminders of “Hot Love” and “Baby Boomerang” are equally as effective. “Buick Mackane” with its early “Children Of The Revolution” style riff ends a great first side.
Side Two kicks off with “Telegram Sam” with Marc’s knowing lyric, ‘golden nose Slim, I knows where you been’. The bizarrely named blues based “Rabbit Fighter” leads into the instantly recognizable “Baby Strange”. Such was the strength of Marc’s songwriting at the time; it found itself almost lost on the b-side of “Telegram Sam”. “Ballrooms Of Mars” is next with its references to Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Alan Freed. Freed’s inclusion may have confused some UK fans but was no stranger to those in the US. He was the DJ sited as being responsible for coining the phrase ‘rock ‘n’ roll’.
Marc Bolan crammed more into his all too brief time than most of us would achieve in several lifetimes. Reading his biography, it was almost as if he was destined to become a star.
