Recording information: Chateau d'Herouville, France (1972).

Conventional wisdom concerning Marc Bolan is that TANX was the beginning of the end, but the two-disc 2002 reissue of the album goes a long way toward rectifying that false impression. TANX certainly tweaks the T. Rex formula, bringing Flo and Eddie's harmonies forward in the mix and adding horns and more keyboards. The songwriting is more varied as well, with ballads like "Broken Hearted Blues" and soulful rockers like "Mad Donna" amid the usual glam boogie. Although the TANX album proper did not score any hit singles in the States, this expanded 2002 edition collects several utterly essential singles that were released around the same time, including the immortal "20th Century Boy" and "Children of the Revolution." These songs led to a renewal of interest in T. Rex when they were used in an SUV ad and the film MOULIN ROUGE, respectively. There's also an entire second disc of alternate takes and demos of TANX tracks, making this the ultimate version of the album for the Marc Bolan completist.
