About this album

The Slider is one of T. Rex’s defining albums, sharpening Marc Bolan’s glam-rock formula into sleek, irresistible pop. Released in 1972, it followed the breakthrough success of Electric Warrior and kept the band at the centre of Britain’s early-’70s rock boom. Bolan’s expressive guitar work and hypnotic phrasing drive songs such as Telegram Sam, Metal Guru and The Slider, while producer Tony Visconti helps frame the album’s polished, punchy sound. The result is a record that balances glitter, toughness and melody with uncommon confidence. Widely regarded as a classic of the glam era, it helped cement T. Rex’s lasting influence.

Genre: Pop & Rock
