This DVD finally brings together not only the restored BORN TO BOOGIE, but also a multitude of extras, including two live concerts in which Bolan and his associates are at their peak. It’s interesting to contrast the two performances; in the 5:30 show, the acoustic set is much stronger; in the 8:30 show, the electric stuff is sensational, leading off with a rousing version of CADILLAC. The restoration of the image from 16mm is absolutely first rate; most of the footage was rescued, along with the original stereo recordings, from 100s of rusting film cans in Ringo’s garage. Tony Visconti, who worked with Bolan during his key era, did the remastering of the soundtrack, and it’s absolutely remarkable; no distortion, and great presence. There are also interview extras, a long piece on the restoration of the film, outtakes with Elton John and Ringo during a jam session, and much, much more. As someone who saw T Rex three times in the US (at their first Carnegie Hall gig, which was a triumph, though the audience simply didn’t get it; at the Palladium in NYC on 14th street, where Bolan pleaded with the audience to no avail to “get it on,” and finally at a tragic gig at a dump called The Joint in the Woods in New Jersey, shortly before his untimely death), I’ve always felt that Bolan was severely underrated. Now, here’s the proof in 2005 that T Rex, which during its heyday was responsible for 25% of all record sales in the UK (yes, that’s right), was one of the masters. Buy, enjoy, and play loud. The movie itself is something of a mess, with a number of useless fantasy sequences that don’t come off, but the two concerts more than make up for it; this is rock and roll history, and a copy of this should be an essential in every collection.
Now you can show everyone what we’ve known for years!
Finally! Given T-Rex was under-appreciated in the U.S., I’ve always been asked what Marc Bolan and the boys were all about! Now I can simply play this wonderful 2-disk dvd and show everyone. This is the ultimate for any Bolan fan. The production is beuatiful, the sound is fantastic, and you get many additional extras including an excellent look into the restoration process, interviews with producer Tony Visconti and Marc’s son, Rolan.

Filmed by Ringo Starr for Apple Films, the DVD includes the original theatrical release of Born to Boogie, as well as full coverage of the 5:30PM and 8:30PM Wembley Pool concerts. The movie has its moments, the highlight being a splendid run through Children of the Revolution in the studio with Elton John and Ringo sitting in. That version is even better than originally released single. I could do without the rest of the surreal fantasy scenes that interrupt the concert footage, but it reflects the same playful strangeness seen in Magical Mystery Tour. Given both concerts are included in their entirety, you lose nothing even though 3 songs from the 8:30 show don’t make the original movie.
As for the music, it’s absolutely peak T-Rex. As was the norm for 1972, both the early and late shows are 1-hour and have the same set list. Nonetheless, they are markedly different. The 5:30 show is a bit ragged, and Bolan is plagued with microphone problems (he literally has to follow the swaying microphone back and forth while singing Telegram Sam). In addition, Bolan’s guitar is turned too low in the first show and the rest of the band seem a bit stiff. Yet, it still reflects a band at its creative apex (having hit it big with Electric Warrior and completed many tracks for The Slider). The second show is AWESOME and worth the purchase by itself! The band is tight, Marc’s guitar is loud and driving, and the energy exchanged between Bolan and the crowd drives the set forward to increasingly intense musical peaks. I did notice that Tony Visconti (who mixed the DVD) adds some subtle lead guitar lines here and there that are clearly not being played by Marc on stage, but this is not a distraction and there are plenty of true leads played, especially as the late show fires up. The songs are as fresh today as they were in the 1972 days of T-Rexstacy. What’s great is that T-Rex fans get the total live experience they’ve craved for years AND the unfamiliar viewer will finally “get it” and “get it on” with Marc and T-Rex. As an avid fan for over 30 years, I can finally say “I’m satisfied!” You will be too!
BOLANS HOLY GRAIL

.Us Rexers have seen it a million times on poor VHS or Bootleg..Its the Extras that just blow you away…The 5.30 afternoon concert is Bolan at his best..the colors, sound, energy is unbeleivable.Marc was only 24 when he strutted his stuff and boy does he look likes hes having a blast.I forgot how Beautiful Mickey Finn was..its such a shame that they are no longer here..
How this film has rotted in a basement for the last 33 years is a crime.Top Hats off to Rolan, Sanctuary, Martin Barden and” all the cats..you know who you are” for having the balls and passion to bring this out for the masses.It must have cost a fortune to clean up and I hope it sells by the truckload.
I was a Bolan Childe in the 70s and seeing this wonderous 5 hours today brought a tear to my aged eyes..it really was like 1972 again and I hope the star that Marc was/is will still be allowed to shine..big time.

Marc Bolan had the looks, style, and bearing of rock star, and T. Rex: Born To Boogie offers proof positive that he was just that. But comparing yourself to the Beatles doesn’t make it so, even if you get Ringo Starr to produce, direct, and appear in your movie. In terms of the things that matter, like singing, guitar playing, and songwriting, Bolan (who died in 1977) fell a ways short. He was hugely popular for a year or two; he and his band T. Rex loved to rock, and they had some catchy, riff-based hits, like the infectious “Get it On (Bang a Gong),” performed at length here. Still, image, attitude, and lyrics like “I wanna call ya/I wanna ball ya”) can only get you so far, even in the pop music world. That’s not to say that Born To Boogie isn’t good fun, especially some of the 1972 concert sequences filmed (by Ringo himself) at London’s Wembley arena and a couple of studio jams with Starr and Elton John (on the other hand, the lame filler between live tunes is what happens when nagging details like a story or a script matter less than simply having a stoned good time). And what this handsomely packaged two-disc set has in spades, along with fine, painstakingly-restored sound and picture, is bonus features, including extended concert footage and a couple of good documentaries narrated by Bolan’s son, Rolan. It ain’t deep, but if you’re looking for a good time, you’ve come to the right place. –Sam Graham

Marc Bolan, nome artístico de Mark Feld (Londres, 30 de Setembro de 1947 — Londres, 16 de Setembro de 1977) foi um cantor e guitarrista britânico. Ele ficou mundialmente conhecido como o vocalista e guitarrista da banda britânica de glam rock T.Rex.
Filho de um motorista de caminhão, Bolan cresceu no pós-guerra, Hackney, leste de Londres, no seio de uma família judaica, e mais tarde viveu em Wimbledon, sudoeste de Londres. Ele se apaixonou pelo rock and roll através de músicos como Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Arthur Crudup e Chuck Berry. Ainda em tenra idade tornou-se um Mod, passando a freqüentar bares, cafés e pubs. Ele apareceu em um episódio da série de televisão de Orlando como um figurante Mod.
Marc Feld havia mudado seu nome para Toby Tyler quando conheceu e foi morar com o filho ator Allan Warren, que se tornou seu primeiro agente. Warren viu o potencial de Toby Tyler que passavam horas sentado de pernas cruzadas no chão tocando seu violão. Warren, em seguida, levou-o para o fotógrafo Michael McGrath e encomendou uma série de fotografias, contratou um estúdio de gravação e produziu o primeiro registro de Bolan, uma faixa com a canção "Blowing in the wind" de Bob Dylan. Também uma versão de Betty Everett da canção "You're No Good", que mais tarde foi apresentado à EMI para um teste de audição, mas eles recusaram o então Toby Tyler. Warren mais tarde vendeu o contrato de Marc e suas gravações por £200,00 (duzentas libras) para o seu senhorio, o magnata David Kirch, em troca de três meses de aluguel. Kirch estava muito ocupado com seu império imobiliário para fazer qualquer coisa por Bolan. Um ano depois, a mãe de Marc o empurrou para dentro do escritório de Kirch e gritou com ele dizendo que não tinha feito nada por seu filho. Ela pediu para ele rasgar o contrato e de bom grado, ele rasgou.
Depois de mudar o seu nome novamente para Marc Bolan (via Mark Bowland), enquanto na Decca Records, lançou seu primeiro single, "The Wizard". No início de 1967 seu agente Simon Napier Bell o incluiu no grupo John's Children, que alcançou algum sucesso como uma banda ao vivo, mas vendeu poucos registros. A unica música da John's Children escrito por Marc Bolan, "Desdemona", foi proibido pela BBC porque sua letra tinha o verso polêmico "levante sua saia e [deixe] voar". Seu período com a banda foi breve.
Bolan alegou ter passado tempo com um mago em Paris, que supostamente lhe passou conhecimentos secretos e o pode de levitar. O tempo gasto com ele foi muitas vezes aludido, mas permaneceu "mítico", na realidade, o mago foi provavelmente o ator amerciano Riggs O'Hara, com quem Bolan fez uma viagem a Paris em 1965. Pouco tempo depois, sua composição decolou e ele começou a escrever muitas das neo-canções românticas que iriam aparecer em seu primeiro álbum com o duo de folk rock Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Electric Warrior, seu sexto álbum de estúdio, é largamente considerado como um dos principais lançamentos do glam rock britânico. Alcançou o número trinta e dois nos EUA, enquanto foi o número um por várias semanas no Reino Unido, tornando-se o álbum mais vendido de 1971. Em 2003, foi classificado com o número 160 na Lista dos 500 melhores álbuns de sempre da Revista Rolling Stone.Após um período de pouca aceitação em meados dos 1970, e o insucesso de critica e venda dos álbuns Tanx e Futuristic Dragon, a banda ressurgiu com o lançamento do disco Dandy in the Underworld de 1977, aclamado pela critica da época. Porém, o final do grupo tornou-se inevitável após a morte de Marc Bolan em um acidente de carro ocorrido em 15 de setembro de 1977.

Em 1979, Siouxsie and the Banshees lançou um cover "20th Century Boy", como o b-side do single "The Staircase (mistério)".
Em 1981, Department S lançou um cover de "Solid Gold Easy Action", como o b-side do single "Is Vic lá?".
Em 1984, The Replacements lançou um cover de "20th Century Boy" como lado B do single "I Will Dare", que também está incluído na versão de relançamento do álbum Let It Be.

Em 1985, o Duran Duran lasca banda Power Station, com Robert Palmer como vocalista, teve uma versão de "Get It On" no Top 40 britânico, a primeira capa de uma canção Bolan para entrar nas paradas após sua morte. Eles também tocaram a música (com Michael Des Barres substituindo Palmer), no concerto Live Aid E.U..
Em 1986, os Violent Femmes realizado "Children of the Revolution" em seu terceiro álbum The Blind Leading The Naked, para o qual também gravou um videoclipe.
Em 1990, Baby Ford fez um cover de "Children of the Revolution" que apareceu no álbum Oooh, O Mundo da Baby Ford.
Em 1994, Billy Idol usava uma t-shirt reproduzindo a capa do álbum Slider em seu vídeo de apoio popular a música "Speed". Essa foi uma homenagem clara a Marc Bolan, que ajudou a Geração X para subir no início de sua carreira.
Em 2006, Def Leppard lançou o seu álbum Yeah que contém covers de suas bandas favoritas, enquanto crescia, a primeira música deste álbum é "20th Century Boy". Joe Elliott queria cantar "Metal Guru", enquanto Vivian Campbell queria "Telegram Sam", mas acabam concordando com a "20th Century Boy". Não é a primeira vez que Def Leppard tem cantado uma música T. Rex, existe uma versão ao vivo de Get It On.
"Children of the Revolution" foi igualmente realizada por Elton John e Pete Doherty no Live 8, 20 anos depois. Bono e Gavin Friday cover "Children of the Revolution" em Moulin Rouge! trilha sonora.
Em 2000, Naoki Urasawa criado um mangá intitulado "20th Century Boys", que foi inspirado pela canção de Marc Bolan, o "20th Century Boy". O livro é um vencedor de vários prémios, e acaba de ser lançado nos Estados Unidos através da mídia VIZ.
Sua música ainda é largamente utilizada em filmes, casos recentes notáveis sendo Breakfast on Pluto, Death Proof, Lords of Dogtown, Billy Elliot, Jarhead, Moulin Rouge!, Herbie: Fully Loaded, quebrando-Up, Hot Fuzz, Click & Escola de Rock . Bolan ainda é citada por muitas bandas guitar-centric como uma influência muito grande (Joy Division / Bernard New Order Sumner disse que o primeiro single que possuía era "Ride a White Swan".) No entanto, ele sempre defendeu que era um poeta que ponha letras de música. As músicas nunca foram tão importantes quanto as palavras.
Bolan voltou ao topo das paradas do Reino Unido em 2005, quando o hit remasterizado, ampliado Born to Boogie DVD No. 1 nas paradas Music DVD.
Steve Kilbey - um confesso fã de Marc Bolan e cantor de renome grupo de art-rock australiana The Church - realizado "Bolan's One Inch Rock" no Kilbey Steve Live DVD, lançado em janeiro de 2008.
Em 2006, foi revelado que o Patrimônio Inglês recusou-se a comissão de uma placa azul para comemorar Bolan, pois ele acreditava ser de "baixa estatura insuficiente ou significado histórico". Há, no entanto, uma placa dedicada à existente na Bolan sua casa de infância, lá colocadas por Hackney Conselho.
Em 2006, a série de TV Life on Mars, o ator interpreta Marc Bolan, circa 1973, em um bar em Manchester.

Rex versão de "Get It On" é jogado no clube de dança de Nova York nessa cena.
Uma das guitarras Bolan, uma Gibson Flying V, recentemente apareceu na Antiques Roadshow nas mãos de um colecionador particular. O avaliador estimou o valor da guitarra ser de aproximadamente $ 50.000-60.000.
A escola é planejado em sua homenagem, a ser construído em Serra Leoa: O Marc Bolan Escola de Música e Cinema.
