Mark Bolan & T. Rex - Best Of The 20th Century Boy

Mark Bolan & T. Rex
Best Of The 20th Century Boy
K-Tel NE 1297
£1
Filed between The Beatles 'Rarities' and David Bowie 'Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars'.

Poor Marc Bolan. So low was his stock in 1985 that he was subjected to a best-of on the K-Tel label. If it had flopped the next one would presumably have been released by Ronco. This was six years before its title track was used on a Levis ad and a resurgence in interest. On the plus side you do get a genuinely comprehensive collection nicely spread over two discs.
