T. Rex is an eponymous album by British rock band T. Rex, released in 1970. It was the first record under their abbreviated band name, following four albums as 'Tyrannosaurus Rex'.
The album contains electric reworkings of old Tyrannosaurus Rex material, and some material originally recorded prior even to John's Children "The Wizard". A significant portion of the songs, however, were new material. It was the album that broke the band and set them in the direction of consistent success over the next three years.
All songs composed by Marc Bolan
This album was probably released on the Blue Thumb record label in the United States (very briefly). Copies supposedly included a 45 of "Summertime Blues" b/w "Is it Love" as a bonus. It was released widely in the US as Reprise 6440 with a 3/4 gatefold cover with the artwork at odds with itself, requiring a sideways look to unfold the cover, or to have the artwork sideways to remove the LP.
