Bolan Boogie is a compilation album by the English glam rock band T. Rex. After Marc Bolan had left Fly Records to form his own label distributed through EMI/T. Rex Wax Co, his former label released this compilation in 1972 with recent single A- and B-sides recorded in 1970 and 1971, many of which had not appeared on previous albums. Also included are album tracks from Tyrannosaurus Rex's Unicorn (1969), A Beard of Stars (1970) and T. Rex's T. Rex (1970).
Bolan Boogie was released in May 1972 by the Fly record label. With T. Rextacy at its absolute peak that spring following the group's acclaimed shows at the Empire Pool in Wembley, the compilation quickly reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, spending three weeks at the top, although it would also be Bolan's last album to do so.[1]
