 (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."
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 :)

Purchase Slider CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Slider album
 $11.19   
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push a rhythm section as powerful as this to the side, dominating with its grinding riffs and solos. Homme's predilection for precision does reign supreme -- when the group stretches out, even wallowing in the murk on "Interlude with Ludes," there's the sense that, like a great improv troupe, the trio freaked out then retained the best moments, trimming away the indulgence and experiments, leaving behind intrinsically, grippingly musical hard rock, where power is secondary to interplay. And while there are melodies and hooks that certainly dig into the skull, what impresses is chemistry, how the three play together, how they instigate each other, and how they spur each other on, to the ...
| | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Slider CD music
$14.45 
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 ...

| | Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!: In Concert CDs (1970) With Book; With DVD; Anniversary Edition; Limited Edition
Slider album
$49.49
Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York on November 27-28, 1969.
Returning to the American concert scene after a three-year layoff, the Rolling Stones recorded GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! during a triumphant two-date stand at Madison Square Garden in late November 1969 that found B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner opening for them. Having amassed an impressive recorded output during their three years away from touring, the Stones peppered their sets with hits, including "Honky Tonk Women," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fighting Man." Tipping their collective hats to Chuck Berry, the band also included covers of "Carol" and "Little Queenie" alongside more blues-influenced numbers such as "Stray Cat Blues" and "Love In Vain."
Having been a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, new guitarist Mick Taylor parlayed his experience into some impressive slide guitar work. The pièce-de-resistance of what is arguably the best live Rolling Stones recording is the eight-minute-plus reading of "Midnight Rambler." Between Mick Jagger's unearthly harmonica playing and the tight interplay between Taylor and Keith Richards, the sinister vibe emanating from this song was eerie, foreshadowing the tragedy that would occur at Altamont less than two weeks later. Observant fans will catch the cover's subtle visual reference to a certain lyric from Bob Dylan's "Visions of Johanna" from BLONDE ON BLONDE.

The Clay Records Punk Singles Collection captures some of the prime material released on one of the most important labels in Britain's transition from punk to hardcore. The collection is naturally dominated by Discharge, who have eight of the 22 songs here; there are also multiple selections from GBH, the Abrasive Wheels, and the Lurkers, plus one track apiece by the Killjoys and future goth mainstays the Sex Gang Children.

$12.19
Principally recorded at The Roxy, New York, New York and at Cherokee Recording Studios, Hollywood, California.
The Ramones' cult-classic movie was perfectly complemented by its soundtrack. Of course, there are Ramones songs -- "I Want You Around," "Come On Let's Go" (with the Paley Brothers), "Rock 'n' Roll High School," and a medley that featured "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Teenage Lobotomy," "California Sun," "Pinhead," and "She's the One" -- but the soundtrack also includes songs by Nick Lowe ("So It Goes"), Devo ("Come Back Jonee"), Chuck Berry ("School Days"), and Eddie & the Hot Rods ("Teenage Depression"). A blissfully teenage album, the only dud is actress ...

| | Krisiun Bloodshed CD (2005) (Import) Import
Slider album
$33.59
After jumping out of the starting block with enviable speed and agility, and to widespread critical acclaim, Brazilian death metal titans Krisiun have suffered some tough setbacks at the hands of the same press as it gradually lost interest in the band's assault of almost unparalleled but increasingly one-dimensional fury. It was into this ongoing state of uncertainty that the band unleashed the stop-gap release Bloodshed -- a not-quite full-length album nevertheless offering eight new compositions (three of them moody instrumental intros and outros) and, of greatest interest, the four cuts originally featured on the trio's seminal first E.P. from 1993, Unmerciful Order. Clearly, it's this unearthed early material (brilliantly brutal and bordering on essential) that will have most die-hard fans flocking to record stores with bated breath, but there's also plenty recommending the band's new offerings which -- surprise, surprise -- happen to show Krisiun avoiding exclusively hyper-speed rhythms, as requested by those critics and some fans alike. Whether this is a matter of intention or coincidence, the fact is tracks like "Slain Fate," "Ominous" and "Visions Beyond" all do well to mix slower, groove-derived guitar riffs into the band's typical rapid-fire attack, losing nothing in the way of overall ...
| | Sham 69 That's Life CD (1978)
Slider CD music
$12.39
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 ...
