  5.0 out of 5 stars First heard this on an old cassette found at the roadside (Literally)!

  Verified Purchase

  My introduction to The Slider was when I found a boxed cassette by the side of the road where I lived. It was in a sorry state, but I put the tape in my car's player and wow it was amazing... Played it for months before buying it on vinyl to listen to it properly. Is fair to say this has been one of my all-time favourite albums, along with Electric Warrior. 1986 was the time I sold my turntable and most of my vinyl to go down the CD route and buying my first CD of The Slider (MARCD 503). So this is my 2nd copy of this CD (CODE90 NINETY 12 Demon Edsel) Nicely packaged with correct picture on front cover. It comes with printed lyrics which is somewhat rare these days. Interestingly there is no actual detail of the remastering on the product despite it marketed by ÍøÆغÚÁÏ as -:
  "Digitally remastered straight reissue of the classic 1972 album from Marc Bolan and T. Rex sans bonus tracks".
  I was aware of there being actually no "bonus tracks", but details on the remaster would have been welcomed! On a very brief comparison to first CD, the bass and bottom end are tighter, and the sound as a whole is very clear and detailed. For me Electric Warrior and The Slider are the key T Rex albums.
