The Two Sheds Mix Tape 25: Tribute to Marc Bolan

If you’ve been following these Mix Tape collections you’ll know that one of my earliest musical memories is listening to the late great Marc Bolan and T. Rex. I’ve gone into the reasons why Bolan is one of my all-time favourites before, and who was responsible for introducing me to his work.

So with the Mix Tapes hitting a quarter of a century it seemed kind of fitting to pay tribute to the man who was essentially my first musical hero, with a list that begins with Tyrannosaurus Rex days in the 1960’s through to his untimely death in in 1977, as well as a couple of tracks that hit the charts after his death.

1) Debora
2) One Inch Rock
3) King of the Rumbling Spires
4) Ride a White Swan
5) Hot Love
6) Get It On
7) Jeepster
8) Telegram Sam
9) Metal Guru
10) Children of the Revolution
11) Solid Gold Easy Action
12) 20th Century Boy
13) The Groover
14) Truck On (Tyke)
15) Teenage Dream
16) Light of Love
17) Zip Gun Boogie
18) New York City
19) Dreamy Lady
20) London Boys
21) I Love to Boogie
22) Laser Love
23) The Soul of My Suit
24) Megarex
25) Get It On (Bus Stop featuring T. Rex)
