180 gram Vinyl
Simply Vinyl are extremely proud to present on 180gram vinyl for the first time in many years the classic album ‘The Slider’ by T.Rex.
Marc Bolan’s T.Rex were quite simply the biggest and best band of the Pop/Glam Rock phenomenon of the early seventies.  Eschewing the band’s folky early years as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Bolan reinvented the face of Pop Music in the UK with T.Rex.
The release of ‘The Slider’ in 1972 was preceded by two huge Number 1 singles: ‘Telegram Sam’ and ‘Metal Guru’ which both feature on this album.  ‘The Slider’ represents the creative peak of an artist who’s star burned so brightly for a few years before fading from view. Bolan re-emerged as a hero with the advent of punk, touring with The Damned, but was tragically killed in a car accident in London in 1977. He remains a cult hero to this day.
The iconic sleeve of ‘The Slider’ is one of the most recognisable images in pop history and features Marc in a huge top hat  - a photograph taken by his great friend Ringo Starr.
