T Rex were never fully appreciated here in the U.S.....they were not "heavy" enough like Zeppelin or Purple and were not "pop" enough like The Osmonds, Partridge Family.  They were just a fun band with a charismatic leader...certainly original or if you prefer, unique.  I first heard Hot Love in 1970 when I was 15. Had no idea what it sounded like just bought the 45 at the only place in town that had even heard of them.  The single had been No. 1 in Great Britain for what seemed like forever and I wanted to know WHY.  Have loved Bolan/T Rex ever since!  To this day I still buy and collect the CD's and am constantly looking for "new" items....especially the "live" footage.  T Rex comes across much differently to me Live.  T.Rex performed live all over the world but I was never fortunate to catch them...He was definitely Born To Boogie and Born To Be A Rock Star.....Simple kick ass rock and roll music! FANtastic!
