The past year has been a banner one for Bolan fans, what with the proper remastering of the Tyrannosaurus Rex catalogue and now the release of Born To Boogie in a special 2-disc deluxe edition, with extras so astounding you wonder why such sensational, historic footage lay dormant in warehouses for 33 years.  First, the film itself is probably rock'n'roll's greatest lost classic: originally only seen in the UK in 1972 and then given a brief VHS appearance in the early 90s, it's considered a Holy Grail for Bolan fans, containing as it does exhilirating footage of his career-capping Wembley performance with a great superstar jam w/Ringo and Elton John (including a scorching "Tutti Frutti" and vastly superior take on "Children Of The Revolution"), and the famous/infamous "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" sequence where Bolan plays elegant acoustic versions of his most sexually provacative songs to himself, Mickey Finn, Ringo and a group of nuns eating hamburgers at John Lennon's Ascot estate.  There's real fireworks here, as Bolan (who was at the absolute peak of his powers in the spring of '72 when all this was filmed) plays the rock-god icon to the hilt.  Indeed, this isn't just a "lost" classic but one of the best rock films period, and some recent reviewers have been moved to comment that the teen riot seen here makes arch-rival Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" film (admittedly a great film and performance in its own right) look like a wake.
