Reviews :
"The album that essentially kick-started the U.K. glam rock craze, Electric Warrior completes T. Rex's transformation from hippie folk-rockers into flamboyant avatars of trashy rock & roll. There are a few vestiges of those early days remaining in the acoustic-driven ballads, but Electric Warrior spends most of its time in a swinging, hip-shaking groove powered by Marc Bolan's warm electric guitar. The music recalls not just the catchy simplicity of early rock & roll, but also the implicit sexuality -- except that here, Bolan gleefully hauls it to the surface, singing out loud what was once only communicated through the shimmying beat. He takes obvious delight in turning teenage bubblegum rock into campy sleaze, not to mention filling it with pseudo-psychedelic hippie poetry. In fact, Bolan sounds just as obsessed with the heavens as he does with sex, whether he's singing about spiritual mysticism or begging a flying saucer to take him away. It's all done with the same theatrical flair, but Tony Visconti's spacious, echoing production makes it surprisingly convincing. Still, the real reason Electric Warrior stands the test of time so well -- despite its intended disposability -- is that it revels so freely in its own absurdity and willful lack of substance. Not taking himself at all seriously, Bolan is free to pursue whatever silly wordplay, cosmic fantasies, or non sequitur imagery he feels like; his abandonment of any pretense to art becomes, ironically, a statement in itself. Bolan's lack of pomposity, back-to-basics songwriting, and elaborate theatrics went on to influence everything from hard rock to punk to new wave. But in the end, it's that sense of playfulness, combined with a raft of irresistible hooks, that keeps Electric Warrior such an infectious, invigorating listen today." AllMusic Review by Steve Huey
Widely considered Marc Bolan’s defining work, ELECTRIC WARRIOR introduced T. Rex’s glam-rock swagger to the world with hits like “Get It On” and “Jeepster.” The album topped the U.K. charts, became a touchstone of the glam era, and remains a high point of Bolan’s legacy.
We selected this record for its dynamic and progressive sound, as well as its innovative use of pioneering methods by producer Tony Visconti. Visconti employed various sonic techniques, such as flanging and backwards guitars, to create a unique sound, enhanced by contributions from notable session musicians.

These 15 i.p.s. half-track 1/4" reel-to-reel tapes are produced to the IEC equalization standard on premium RTM LPR90 tape stock and housed on 10.5" metal reels. These releases are designed for exceptional longevity when stored in a cool, clean place away from magnetic fields.
Originating in Germany in 1928, the reel-to-reel recording process produces pristine sound. It has been favored by audiophiles and musicians since its commercial debut in the late 1940s, with pioneers like Jack Mullin and Ampex introducing this format to singer Bing Crosby. The magnetic tape format gave musicians the ability to re-record, erase, and edit their recordings—features that had not been available before.
Reel-to-Reel builds on Rhino High Fidelity’s dedication to premium sound, pairing essential albums with the unrivaled warmth of reel-to-reel. Celebrating the enduring appeal of analog sound, the series offers collectors a format that preserves music exactly as it was meant to be heard.
