Artist Information
*************************
Electric Warrior is the sixth album by British rock group T. Rex (being the second album under that name with the first four billed as by Tyrannosaurus Rex). Electric Warrior reached number thirty-two in the US Billboard 200; it went to number one for several weeks in the UK Albums Chart, becoming the biggest selling album there in 1971. In 2003, it was ranked number 160 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The album contained two of T. Rex's most popular songs, "Get It On" and "Jeepster." In the United States, "Get It On"'s title was modified to "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" to distinguish it from Chase's song "Get It On", which was also released in late 1971. "Get It On" was T. Rex's biggest selling single and their only US hit reaching number 10 in the Billboard Hot 100.

A Brief Discussion On Condition
*********************
Sealed albums are in many cases a later pressing bought in some bargain bin. Not always but quite frequently. Rarely did the first pressing make it to the bargain bin unless the record was a flop. Back in the day every record distributor had a sealing machine and would reseal albums. These would end up in the bargain bins. That is why you see the stretching on the corners of many of them offered on eBay. Unless you plan on leaving the album sealed and reselling it, you are better off with a true Near Mint to Mint pressing from a reputable record dealer. You know what you get.
All of these claims regarding complicated record cleaning systems mean you are getting records that have not had the care they should have had. If the record was cared for properly it won't need these complicated cleanings! A wipe with a Parastat or Discwasher with a few drops of cleaning solution will remove any soiling that is not from abuse.
A properly cared for album (NM or M) should look as close as possible to the record that came out when it was first opened.
Most records come from my personal collection accumulated during my years in the music industry. When purchased new or received as a promotional copy, the album or single was placed in a plastic outer sleeve and sometimes a plastic inner sleeve. When possible the records will include these plastic sleeves.
Many were never played!
I rate rather conservatively but work closely with Goldmine standards. My Near Mint ratings are generally what everybody else rates as Mint or Brand New.
I try very hard to give accurate descriptions of the records and check them prior to shipment to ensure that the condition advertised is indeed what I ship. If there is something that I missed I will notify you prior to shipment. In turn, if you receive your record and the condition is not what you expected, let me know and we will work it out.Shipment Information
All records are carefully packaged and shipped in heavy duty commercial grade #200 corrugated Record shipping boxes!
