Between 1995 and 1997, Edsel released eight full-length CDs of Marc Bolan's previously unreleased demos, alternate takes, unused and abandoned songs and unfinished recordings. These CDs were deleted in 2001. Since then, copies of the rare original individual releases have changed hands for foolish amounts of money and sellers on Ebay have offered to pirate the entire set! Edsel is now proud to announce the re-issue of all 8 CDs in a limited edition bound book set, with extensive brand new annotation by Mojo writer Mark Paytress, author of the acknowledged definitive Bolan biography “Bolan: The Rise and Fall of a 20th Century Sperstar”. Scraping the bottom of the outtakes, for completists only. But they certainly do contain a number of tracks never heard before. The T. Rex Unchained series of releases features the wealth of unreleased and unfinished material that Marc Bolan constantly recorded throughout his all-too-brief career. Recorded in studios, hotel rooms and anywhere he could set up a tape recorder, the series chronicles a less-seen side of a rocker who was an all-out media sensation for a couple of years in the early '70s. Presented in a fantastic bound book set featuring extensive brand new annotation by Mojo Magazine and Marc Bolan biographer Mark Paytress. Superb outer book style picture sleeve with 28-page integral booklet and mounted picture wallets for each disc. Fabulous, comprehensive 'unreleased' set in 'as new' condition! Collected in this box set are the recordings that didn't get released in Marcs lifetime. From very basic tracks to songs that were taken into the studio and given the full production treatment. The 8 albums comprise of 185 tracks, all of them essential listening. You can only wonder how they would have sounded had they been officially released.
