Two CD set from boppin' Bolan and his T.Rex mates. Disc One features the soundtrack to the motion picture Born To Boogie, which was directed by fan (and former Beatle) Ringo Starr. Disc Two features a complete T.Rex live performance recorded during the movie-making experience but never released in it's entirety (it is one of only two full concerts ever recorded with T.Rex). Also featured is the jam between Marc, Ringo and Elton John, where they perform 'Tutti Frutti' and 'Children Of The Revolution'. Prepare to be blown away by a band at the height of their success. Sanctuary. 2005.

Editorial Reviews
I've been waiting for this for a long time. The movie "Born to Boogie" which chronicles the rise of Marc Bolan to superstar status in the U.K. was never released in the US. Marc's success peaked around the time of the original 1972 movie directed by Ringo Starr, and this is a great value. Disc one contains the soundtrack of the movie with a superb earlier take of "Children of the Revolution" with Elton John on piano and Ringo playing drums. But disc two is truly the treasure featuring the full length Wembley concert (3/18/72)which has been lovingly remastered with surprisingly good sound throughout the set. The concert opens with a stunning version of "Cadillac" and concludes with a very electric version of "Summertime Blues". This is an excellent cd and helps clarify what "T.Rexstasy" was all about. Too bad that America just didn't get it. Now they can. As a T.Rex fanatic for 30 years, this is truly essential. Now, I need the DVD!!!
