Customer Reviews Yeah the sound stinks....BUT Some available on other comps , some not. These are demos; tons and tons of demos. . . . . Bolan must have had a tape recorder going every moment of his life , with all the stuff that is out there. Hey , look , if you can get over the sound , you will find a veritable treasure-trove of rarities here. No worse than the bootleg vinyls of LP days. Plus it gives you one more opportunity to hear a sorely-missed performer. Truck on (tyke) !. D. Sieruga For as many discs as this box set holds, I didn't find much I didn't already own. I have to admit I was disappointed. Then there is the horrific sound quality. There was no attempt to re-master the demos on the CD. Much of it is unlistenable. I am a huge Marc Bolan fan and own well over 20 of his various works. My advice would be to pass on this one though. . . You can see a complete list of all T. Rex discography, or go back to the T.
