T. Rex - Best of the BBC Recordings

If there’s one artist who’s success can be almost directly attributed to support from the BBC, it’s Marc Bolan. His initial success was unquestionably down to the close friendship he had forged with John Peel, who had Bolan on his show on countless occasions recording sessions, reading poetry, even singing Christmas carols. On his last Radio London show before the station was shut down Peel played no less than six Bolan recordings. This single disc set is the best of the BBC recordings, taken from the 3CD retrospective released in 2006. Album Description
