20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection

This collection is the definitive document of the moment rock and roll decided to put on its makeup and head for the stars. It sounds like a collision between 1950s greaser cool and 1970s psychedelic excess, all held together by Marc Bolan's unique, warbling vibrato. The production by Tony Visconti provides a lush, velvet-lined backdrop for guitars that crunch with a specific, mid-range grit. It is music that feels both incredibly expensive and delightfully trashy, capturing the essence of the glam rock movement before it became a caricature of itself.
