If you're looking for a well-chosen compilation, this is the one to get. First off, there are all but three of the A sides - including, most unusually, all five Tyrannosaurus A's. (The three rejects are all later and lesser: Light of Love, Laser Love, London Boys.) Then there are some dozen album tracks, a pretty fair selection. They're not always the ones I would have chosen myself, but of course no two opinions are ever quite the same on something like this. There are also some rarities: two "works in progress", two tracks recorded live for the BBC, and a fine Tyrannosaurus song that somehow got overlooked. But for me the brightest gems in the collection are the half-dozen or so tracks that were originally buried on B sides and then all but lost. T Rex's B's were of consistently high quality, especially the early ones, and these are some of the rarest and greatest. We should thank the compilers for rescuing them from their totally undeserved oblivion. Altogether this is the best and most comprehensive two-disc collection I've ever seen. I'd have liked a couple more classic B's instead of some of the more readily available album tracks - but what do you want, perfection? This is as close to perfection as we're ever likely to get.Read full review
