T Rex / “Tanx” and “Zinc Alloy” deluxe set available to order for US fans
Demon Music’s five-disc T Rex deluxe book set that combines new Visconti-remasters of Tanx and Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow is now available on Amazon in the UK and can therefore be ordered by fans in North America and Canada, who previously were unable to do so via the official T Rex store.
Each album is offered across two CDs and comes with an enormous amount of bonus material, including A-sides, B-sides, demos and outtakes. The DVD offers Top Of The Pops performances, promo films and other TV appearances. The 12″ x 12″ hardback book comes with new notes by Mark Paytress and Tony Visconti.
This Tanx and Zinc Alloy set will be released on 3 March 2014.
