Tyrannosaurus Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex's third album Unicorn, from 1969, continued the duo's association with producer Tony Visconti, and introduced such favorites as "Iscariot," "Cat Black (The Wizard’s Hat)" and "The Misty Coast Of Albany." This new 2-CD gatefold Deluxe Edition contains the mono 2014 remaster of the original album on CD 1, plus copious bonus material including non-album single A and B-sides; 5 songs recorded for John Peel’s Top Gear; and 3 songs previously only available on the 20th Century Superstar box set. CD 2 contains a further 26 alternate takes including 17 that were previously unreleased.  Mark Paytress provides the new essay.
