MEGAREX (SINGLE EDIT) - T REX

English rockers Marc Bolan and T Rex had numerous 1970s glam rock singles so when the 1980s came along and making mega-mixes of artist's greatest hits was in vogue then it wasn't long until Sanny-X of Disco Mix Club created a set of T Rex mixes called the "MegaRex" set.

There were four different versions that all came out in May 1985 they were:


"
MegaRex 1" 12" (5:30 mins)
"
MegaRex 2" 12" (8:23 mins)
"
MegaRex 3" 12" (5:32 mins)
"MegaRex 4" 7" (3 mins).

"MegaRex 1" contains songs: Tame My Tiger, Chrome Sitar, Solid Baby.

"MegaRex 2" contains songs: Truck On (Tyke), The Groover, Get It On (Bang A Gong), Telegram Sam, Shock Rock, Metal Guru, 20th Century Boy, Children Of The Revolution, Hot Love.

"MegaRex 3" contains songs: Truck On (Tyke), The Groover, Get It On (Bang A Gong), Telegram Sam, Shock Rock, Metal Guru, 20th Century Boy, Children Of The Revolution.

MegaRex 2 and 3 have been released on CD but the edited 3 min single mix has not to my knowledge surfaced anywhere in the world. Originally this version was released in Oz on black vinyl but overseas it was on a picture disk (click picture above).

Tracks included in the
"MegaRex 4" single edit are:

Metal Guru

20th Century Boy

Children Of The Revolution

  1. Hi Tom, Can you give me any more information on MegaRex 2 and 3 please? On which CDs can I find them? I had a MegaRex 12 inch at one stage but it is long gone sadly and I love some of the work Sanny X did on it. Cheers Andrew
