'Electric Warrior' album (1971) effectively buried the psychedelic folk rock of Tyrannosaurus Rex and immortalized the trashy hard rock of T Rex. One successful single ('Ride a Whi te Swan') and an eponymous album had already introduced the T. Rex name in 1970, and the single 'Hot Love' first boasted the expanded band line-up of Bolan, Mickey Finn, Steve Currie and Bill Legend. But 'Electric Warrior' - preceded by its first single, 'Bang a Gong (Get it On)') crystallized the sleazy bubblegum and rock-and-roll spirit of Bolan's band, capturing what was simultaneously a ferocious attack on and celebration of the three-minute pop single.
