Marc Bolan & T.Rex: (Hit Warriors)

The cosmic yob who took a whispery hippie duo, plugged in the electricity, grew the curls, and accidentally invented glam rock overnight.

This is the complete UK discography of the man who made of stardust: every album, single, and rarity from John's Children to T. Rex and beyond.
