PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING:   USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

TOP COPY! ...VERY HARD TO FIND, totally essential 37 years ago definitive rarities filled triple LP in triple-fold cover, issued only in Australia ... 63 tracks :::

Terrific photos inserts/booklets included

A magnificent unique Australian pressing of this superlative triple-deck sleeve (opens three times) -- lovingly crafted by iconic Australian rock historian Glenn A Baker.

Not a big seller in its day, issued only in Australia, and pretty hard to find a copy anywhere now ... A fantastic collectible because the three vinyl albums within document Marc Bolan's entire career from 1965-1977, 63 tracks in all, rounding up impossibly scarce 45s by John's Children, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Dib Cochran & the Earwigs & Big Carrot alongside the expected T.Rex grooves and studio classics.

Brief interview segments close three of the six sides, and the triple gatefold packaging features excellent liner notes and illustrations. It is also worth noting that this remains the only career-spanning anthology for Bolan issued so far.

Complete with 2 photo collage inner sleeves plus a third inner sleeve that features a full discography.

Released after Bolan's death this comprehensive set contains many songs that were, at the time, completely unavailable on LP - including some of his very early, very rare, and therefore very collectable releases.

All up there are 63 tracks here containing 40 consecutive single A-sides, from the first solo single 'The Wizard', to John's Children and 'Desdemona' through all Tyrannosaurus Rex and T Rex classic singles. It also includes the incredibly rare 'Oh Baby' by Dib Earwig, and 'Squint Eye Mangle' by Big Carrot … without doubt an absolute encyclopaedic treasure trove of everything Bolan.
