RECORDING
All tracks originate from Marc Bolan’s early‑1970s sessions produced by Tony Visconti. No new recording was undertaken for this 2007 edition; the single re‑presents the original masters.
STYLE & THEMES
The three tracks highlight Bolan’s transition from acoustic‑leaning psychedelic folk into full glam‑rock confidence. • Hot Love marks the shift toward a more expansive pop‑rock sound. • Woodland Rock retains the raw, energetic edge of early T. Rex. • The King Of The Mountain Cometh reflects Bolan’s mystical lyrical imagery and rhythmic drive.
TRACK‑BY‑TRACK NOTES
• Hot Love — A defining glam‑rock single, driven by Bolan’s melodic phrasing and Visconti’s warm production.
• Woodland Rock — A high‑energy track showcasing Bolan’s raw electric sound.
• The King Of The Mountain Cometh — A rhythm‑driven piece with Bolan’s characteristic mystical imagery.
