Product Description ELECTRIC WARRIOR (EXPANDED & REMASTERED) now features 7 bonus tracks, including a previously unreleased acoustic rendition of "Planet Queen." Other rarities include the single version of "Hot Love" and a recorded interview excerpt from 1971, previously unavailable only as part of a limited-edition promo disc. Expanded booklet features unseen archival photos, restored LP artwork, and extensive liner notes by British music expert Sean Egan. Amazon.com Electric Warrior, T. Rex's best album, distills elements of Marc Bolan's earlier acoustic period with a dynamic rock rhythm section--drummer Bill Legend and bassist Steve Currie--and lush arrangements by producer Tony Visconti. Featuring the classics "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "Jeepster," and "Mambo Sun," Warrior ranges from the space blues of "Lean Woman Blues" to the punk jazz of "Rip Off," with a sound fleshed out by chamber strings and the falsetto harmonies of ex-Turtles and Mothers of Invention members Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. (Zappa sideman Ian McDonald plays sax as well.) Touches such as the arcing cellos of "Cosmic Dancer" and the sexy rhythms of "Planet Queen" perfectly bring to life Bolan's imaginative world of "diamond star halos" and "shadowless horses." A must for any serious collector of British rock classics. This remastered reissue is fleshed out with a half-dozen bonus tracks and a band interview. --James Rotondi
