  Billboard Album Review
(dated 23rd October 1971)

T. Rex is now the hottest group in England
(consistent No. 1 singles). With the group and the
company taking great promotional interest in this
album. It won't be long before America also starts
bopping to Marc Bolan's uniquely entertaining
cosmic visions.
Freakiest cut: "Jeepster"; prettiest: "Life's a
Gas"; funniest: "Rip-Off."
