Part of the Marc Bolan 'Songwriter' series, '1971' focuses on the year in which T.Rex became a chart-topping phenomenon. This 19-track selection includes full-length versions of the hits 'Hot Love' and 'Get It On', along with the single version of 'Jeepster'. But also included are many other recordings from 1971: B-sides, working versions of 'Telegram Sam' and 'Life's a Gas', and demos like the 15-minute Complete Acoustic Demo of 'Children of Rarn'. This release has been compiled and fully annotated by Mark Paytress, author of the definitive biography 'Marc Bolan: The Rise and Fall of a 20th Century Superstar', and the recently-published 'Glam! When Superstars Rocked the World, 1970-74'.
