plus HOWARD KAYLAN and MARK VOLMAN
Initially a British folk-rock combo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, T. Rex was the primary force in glam rock,
thanks to the creative direction of guitarist/vocalist Marc Bolan.
Bolan created a deliberately trashy form of rock & roll that was proud of its own disposability.
T. Rex's music borrowed the underlying sexuality of early rock & roll, adding dirty,
simple grooves and fat distorted guitars, as well as an overarching folky/hippie spirituality
that always came through the clearest on ballads

RECORD EX (please, read above description)
SLEEVE EX (please, see pictures and read above description)
Buoyed by two U.K. number one singles in "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru," The Slider became
T. Rex's most popular record on both sides of the Atlantic, despite the fact that it produced no hits in the U.S.
The Slider essentially replicates all the virtues of Electric Warrior, crammed with effortless hooks and trashy fun.
All of Bolan's signatures are here -- mystical folk-tinged ballads, overt sexual come-ons crooned
over sleazy, bopping boogies, loopy nonsense poetry, and a mastery of the three-minute pop song form.
The main difference is that the trippy mix of Electric Warrior is replaced by a fuller,
more immediate-sounding production. Bolan's guitar has a harder bite, the backing choruses
are more up-front, and the arrangements are thicker-sounding...(AllMusic)
