THE COLLECTION

This compilation is listed as T-Rex compilation by Castle Communication in 1986 because the musical style of T-Rex (glam Rock/ Glam Metal) was one of the dominant musical styles of 80's but "The Collection" present only 6 of 24 songs by T-Rex phase of this band. For this fact "The Collection" is good as Tyrannosaurus Rex compilation.

Wanting to trivialize Tyrannosaurus Rex is a band that sounds strange Folk for hippies. This is because the use of acoustic guitar, bongos and toy instruments, combined with chaotic songs made ​​it all very spontaneous, if not wild. From this point of view the songs that they could not be original and still very beautiful, although I did not win as they should (but I admit to be wonderful and magic songs). Also because Marc Bolan is an excellent guitarist.

The use of electric guitar does not change things much. The songs are less spontaneous, chaotic, however. T-Rex is not anymore a Folk band but a Glam Rock band. It, however, remains a magical and original band.

In a general view, however, "The Collection" is just an interesting compilation, with great songs. But nothing that deserves to make it rise to levels of excellence.
