T. Rex: Electric Warrior (Half-Speed Remastered Vinyl) (LP)

The second studio album of the British band T.Rex from 1971 is a classic. One of its two singles was Get It On, T.Rex's best-selling single ever and the band's only top ten track in the US. Electric Warrior made Marc Bolan a glam rock star overnight. He created a trend that greats like David Bowie, Roxy Music and Mott the Hoople soon followed. Tony Visconti's warm, low-reverb production and Roy Thomas Baker's top-notch recording technique are undoubtedly important ingredients in the album's success. About the Half Speed Mastering Process: This record was cut using a special technique known as half-speed mastering. In this process, both the source for this record and the platter on the cutting machine are run at half speed, so twice as much time is spent cutting the intricate groove in the master record. This hand-crafted approach results in cuts that have superior high-frequency (treble) response and solid, stable stereo imaging. In short, a very high quality master that helps create a very high quality record.
