The 1997 reissue of BOLAN'S ZIP GUN features 2 additional tracks that did not appear on the original release; "Do You Wanna Dance?" and "Dock Of The Bay."
This two-disc 2002 edition is packaged in a digipak and plastic slipcase.
Disc one includes 2 non-album single sides in addition to the original album.
Disc two includes 19 "work in progress" versions and demos, which mirror the original album's running order.
Released in early 1975, BOLAN'S ZIP GUN appeared after T. Rex had been out of the limelight for a period of time. Rumors abounded about the supposed ill health of Marc Bolan, but beyond the rumors was the undeniable fact that T. Rex was no longer the sensation it had been in its early-'70s heyday.
Never content to rest on his laurels, Bolan was willing to rework the band's sound, and the songs on ZIP GUN show a bright, slick production that contrasts with classic T. Rex. Bolan still shows a penchant for the feel of early rock & roll, but he pumps up the sound with a chorus of three female back-up singers, handclaps, synthesizer and other sonic embellishments not normally associated with T. Rex. Songs like "Till Dawn" and "Light of Love" sound like classic '50s songs transformed into rock & roll epics, with Bolan's insinuating singing adding the necessary dirty-sweet touch to the mix. Although it fell short of the Top 40, the stomping "Zip Gun Boogie" grooves with classic Bolan swagger.
Includes liner notes by Mark Paytress.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Marc Bolan/T. Rex: Marc Bolan (vocals, guitar); Gloria Jones (vocals, Clavinet); Dino Dines (keyboards); Steve Currie (bass); Paul Fenton, Davey Lutton (drums); Mickey Finn (hand percussion).

It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." ...

This extensive best-of features two decades' worth of the popular progressive rock outfit's material.
This double-CD set managed to sneak onto the market in the mid-'90s, below the radar of all but the most diligent fans and the best record stores. Across their history, through two different "original" lineups, and the variants and offshoots of the more enduring second incarnation (as well as its splintering into at least two groups sharing some of the same repertoire), and releases on more than half a dozen labels, Renaissance piled up a significant body of music. Astonishingly, this double CD was the first serious attempt in a quarter century to compile the best parts of the output of both versions of the group, covering a period of 13 years, from 1969 until the dissolution of the second lineup in 1982, and it succeeds despite the vast changes in sound and personnel represented. The slightly more pop-oriented material off of the original group's second album, for example, is quite jarring in the wake of two tracks off the first, which are much more intense virtuoso showpieces; on the other hand, "Love Goes On" and "Love Is All" serve as a bridge to the smoother, more elegant sound of the second "original" lineup. Interestingly, although the material from the first lineup's two albums sounds very good, the music from the second version of the group, from Prologue and beyond, is astoundingly crisp, clear, and sharp, and puts the mastering on One Way Records' domestic versions of Prologue and Ashes Are Burning to shame. Indeed, the change between the fidelity of one body of music and the next is so startling that the transition is almost the audio equivalent to that moment in The Wizard of Oz when Technicolor replaces the black-and-white shooting. The selection of material is also very fair, although one suspects that one more Capitol/EMI-era cut would've given a slightly more balanced view of their music. On the other hand, there are a pair ...
| | Don Mclean Homeless Brother CD (1974) (Import) United Kingdom
Bolan's Zip Gun songs
$17.15
Digitally remastered edition of the silver voiced tenor's fourth album for UA saw showcased a pop singer rather than the folkie that audiences had been introduced to just a few years before with his mega hit "American Pie". Includes McLean's renditions of the Elvis classic "Crying In The Chapel" and the AC hit "Wonderful Baby".
After taking an album off as a songwriter with the all-covers collection Playin' Favourites in 1973, Don McLean returned to providing most of the compositions on his fifth LP Homeless Brother in 1974. It was an ambitious work, which he signaled by a sleeve note on the back cover in which he described "the vision of this album...growing within...." That vision, or concept, seemed to be embodied in the title and corresponding album cover, a painting of a hobo inside a boxcar. And, indeed, in song after song, notably the title track, which found McLean being accompanied by his mentor, Pete Seeger, on background vocals, there were references to hoboes and hoboing. (The record was dedicated to Lee Hays, Seeger's partner in ...
