Description

[Machine Translation] A compilation of early sessions, demos, and live performances from the Tyrannosaurus Rex era, the predecessor of T. Rex, by Marc Bolan, the Light of Love Foundation, and Easy Action, which manages the T. Rex archives. Disc 1 features the debut album "Tyrannosaurus Rex! ( 1968), and disc 2 is a compilation of 28 demos, outtakes, and live performances recorded between 1968 and 1969, after the band's debut with Visconti and before Steve Tuck left the band. Disc 2 contains 28 songs, including demos, outtakes, and live recordings made between 1968 and 1969, the period when Visconti met and debuted, and when Steve Took left the band. Initially, as an acoustic duo of Marc Bolan and Steve Took, the label's tracks were produced by Joe Boyd, known for his work with folk artists such as Fairport Convention and Nick Drake, and sessions (12 tracks) were conducted. After much trial and error, the band met Tony Visconti, who would go on to produce their debut album, and the documentary is an interesting look at the process of establishing their unique sound, which is like a "mysterious orchestra. Also, you can't miss Danny Thompson of Pentangle on double bass during Joe Boyd's sessions. Bilingual English commentary is included.

Description in Japanese

ストレンジ・オーケストラ / ティラノザウルス・レックス

マーク・ボラン、及びT.レックスの音源を管理しているライト・オブ・ラヴ・ファウンデーションとイージーアクションによるT.レックスの前身、ティラノザウルス・レックス時代の初期のセッション、デモ、ライヴなど収めたコンピレーション。ディスク1はデビュー・アルバム『ティラノザウルス・レックス登場!!』(1968)をプロデュースするトニー・ヴィスコンティと出会う前の1967年7~12月にかけて録音されたセッションとライヴからなる29曲を、ディスク2はヴィスコンティと出会いデビューし、そしてスティーヴ・トゥックが脱退するまでの68~69年に録音されたデモ、アウトテイク、ライヴなど28曲をそれぞれ収録。当初マーク・ボランとスティーヴ・トゥックのアコースティック・デュオということで所属レーベルのトラックはフェアポート・コンヴェンションやニック・ドレイクなどフォーク系のアーティストのプロデュースで知られるジョー・ボイドを招きセッション(12曲収録)を行うなど試行錯誤の末、デビュー作以降のプロデューサーを手掛ける事となるトニー・ヴィスコンティに出会い"不思議なオーケストラ"のような彼ら独自のサウンドを確立してゆく過程を捉えたドキュメンタリーとしても大変興味深い内容となっています。またジョー・ボイドのセッションではペンタングルのダニー・トンプソン(ダブル・ベース)が参加しているのも見逃せません。英文解説の対訳付。
