 (6 Customer Reviews)
The 1997 reissue of THE SLIDER features 3 additional tracks that did not appear on the original release; "Cadillac," "Thunderwing" and "Lady."
Marc Bolan & T. Rex/T. Rex (Rock): Marc Bolan (vocals, guitar); Steve Currie (bass guitar); Bill Legend (drums); Mickey Finn (congas).
Although 1971's ELECTRIC WARRIOR was the first album on which all the pieces finally came together for marc Bolan and T. Rex, the follow-up, THE SLIDER was Bolan's masterpiece. The album on which Bolan's characteristically inscrutable, hippy-dippy lyrics were perfectly balanced with crunchy glam-rock guitar riffs and great, whomping drum fills, THE SLIDER is a masterpiece of glam boogie. It spawned two of Bolan's biggest singles, "Metal Guru" and "Telegram Sam" (the latter of which just might be the best song Bolan ever wrote). The David Bowie tribute "Main Man" and the goofy rockabilly giggle "Baby Strange," as well as the more delicate title track, are all up to that level as well. This reissue includes three bonus tracks, the surprisingly worthwhile 1972 demos "Cadillac," "Thunderwing," and "Lady" that are formative glimpses at how wildly productive Marc Bolan was during this period of his career.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at Chateau D'Herouville, Paris, France and Rosenberg Studios, Copenhagen, Denmark. Includes liner notes by Mark Paytress.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.  T.REX's best complete album
This is the album after Electric Warrior which had the hit Bang A Gong. though three or four songs received FM radio play when first released, there were no actual hits. Over all this is probably T. REX's most consistant album as far as song quality. All the songs are listenable with quite a few great pop rock songs and does not sound dated as many 70's albums can. My 13 year old daughter loved it @ first listen (she thought it was a new band). The outtakes on the 2nd CD will only appeal to the hard
core T. REX fans and only mildly interesting.

The person who gave this 2Xstars does not get this album!!
This ia a fantastic album from T.Rex, and prob my fav from them. I have it on cd and a first edition LP, and it still sound's as fresh to me as when i first heard it. There are fun song's(Metal Guru), sad song's(Spaceball Ricochet) & song's you can dance to and feel great (Rock On). Dont listen to the person who gave this 70's Classic 2 stars, she really seems to have missed the point of this album! 5-stars from Jon :)

Slider
 $10.49   
When Layne Staley died from a drug overdose in 2002, it had already been several years since most Alice in Chains fans stopped hoping for a new album. The singer had become a recluse since the late-`90s, and there was little indication that AIC would ever again produce much in the way of new music. As a result, when the remaining members reunited to release BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE in 2009, expectations were low. To the delight of all however, the album proved to be perhaps the Seattle combo's most energetic and consistent effort since its masterpiece DIRT. Perhaps the most surprising element of the new record was how much it sounded exactly like Alice in Chains. While new singer William DuVall was not an exact Staley soundalike, he managed to evoke both the unique timbre and sense of deep angst that were the late vocalist's trademarks. Throughout, the sound is heavier and sturdier than ever before, with songs like the first single "A Looking In View" and "Check My Brain" borrowing a bit from the nu-metal bands Alice in Chains inspired, and beating the upstarts at their own game.

| | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Slider
$15.65
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all it would be if Cash didn't sing her heart out here. The opener, a version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Miss the Mississippi and You," is full of comfortable grace and sentiment, and Cash keeps that fine emotional tone throughout this set. Songs like the folk classic "500 Miles" feel at once both lovingly rendered and reborn for a new century in Cash's hands. There's also her fine rendering of Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country," a nice turn at Harlan Howard's "Heartaches by the Number" (which features Elvis Costello), a calm but still spooky duet with Jeff Tweedy on the faux-murder ballad "Long Black Veil," and a duet with Bruce Springsteen on Hal David and Paul Hampton's "Sea of Heartbreak." Cash sings with a calm, measured authority, and all these the songs fit together with the same sort of refreshing resignation and care.

| | R E M Live At The Olympia CDs (2009) With DVD
Slider
$23.20
R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's Olympia in the summer of 2007
"This is not a show," murmurs Michael Stipe at the start of LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA and it's not quite misdirection. R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's Olympia in the summer of 2007 functioned as working rehearsals for their fourteenth album ACCELERATE, with the band testing out each of the songs, exploring arrangements, finding breaking points, and pairing them with older songs that informed their back-to-basics move. As rehearsal, it paid off splendidly -- road-testing the material made it stronger, resulting in their best album in years -- but the audience was in for a real treat, with the band digging deep into their back catalog to play some of their best non-hit songs. Just as importantly, the band sounds completely engaged with the material, enjoying playing the songs again. And that is what R.E.M. is here -- a tighter, cleaner band than the scruffy renegades of the '80s, but still the same band, which is evident here in ways it never was on the perfectly fine R.E.M. LIVE. That was a production. This is rock & roll.

| | Sham 69 That's Life CD (1978)
Slider
$12.49
On its second full-length album, THAT'S LIFE, the U.K. punk group Sham 69 solidified its sound, offering up catchier fist-shaking anthems than its half-live/half-studio debut, TELL US THE TRUTH, while also thoughtfully conveying a song cycle of working-class woe. In addition to shout-along numbers "Hurry Up Harry" and "Angels with Dirty Faces," the record features more reflective tunes, most notably the pensive, subdued "Everybody's Right, Everybody's Wrong," proving that frontman Jimmy Pursey and the lads were more than just a knuckleheaded band that instigated brawls. While TRUTH may be the better introduction to Sham 69, THAT'S LIFE presents the ensemble at its creative peak.
Originally released in the UK on Polydor. Includes liner notes by Jimmy Pursey and Dave Parsons.
Sham 69 includes: Jimmy Pursey (vocals); Dave Parsons (guitar).
