Description
Artist: T Rex
Title: The Slider (40th Anniversary Box Set (2 CD/DVD/Vinyl LP/Memorabilia/Book). Limited Number 606/2000
Label/Pressing: Edsel
Condition: Excellent but Incomplete - see below
Notes:
The good new first. This box set is generally in absolutely excellent condition. The Vinyl LP is EX, the memorabilia and hardback book are in EX condition. The CD's are in excellent condition. Both cd's and vinyl are unplayed. The bx set itself is also in EX condition including the cover sheet on the rear.
The bad news - this box set is MISSING the 7" Vinyl singles unfortunately.
The rubber packaging that holds all the items also has a little bit of damage as can be seen in the photos. The rear of the CD sleeves have a little bit of stickiness and marking due to the due from the back of the rubber packaging.
Other than that everything is in EX condition.
Strictly limited to 2000 copies (numbered 1 - 2000) Now remastered for the first time by Tony Visconti, this classic album released in July 1972 on the back of three chart-topping T.Rex LPs provides a perfect snapshot of the era the press dubbed T. Rextasy and is proof of Bolan s extraordinary and enduring appeal across the generations.
On the accompanying DVD, Tony Visconti recalls the making of the album in an exclusive new 105-minute interview with Bolan biographer Mark Paytress. The DVD also features TV footage including performances of Telegram Sam and Metal Guru from Top Of The Pops, ITV performance footage of Cadilac, Spaceball Ricochet and Telegram Sam, plus Marc s interview with Russell Harty from 1972. Rounding off the DVD is footage of Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn visiting EMI s pressing plant, a TV advert for The Slider and a US promotional film of Buick Mackane.
Tony Visconti has also written a special essay for the 48-page hardback coffee-table book included in the box, which also features a 6,000-word essay by Paytress, rare photos and reproductions of archive material. Also included in the set, which comes in a sturdy 12 x 12 box, is a 180g vinyl pressing of the original album, all in facsimile T. Rex Wax Co paper sleeves.
