T. Rex (July 1973) “The Groover” / “Midnight” – Single 7" Denmark

Rex Wax Co. imprint, it reached No.4 in the UK — still a strong success but signalling the beginning of a commercial softening as newer glam acts like Slade and David Bowie dominated the charts. It remains a fan favourite for its crunching riff and infectious groove. RELEASE DETAILS Artist: T. Rex Label:
