Tanx (Japanese Pressing)

A very smart  clean Japanese Pressed vinyl with  a  nice crisp cover.

Tanx is the eighth studio album by English glam rock act T. Rex, released on 28 January 1973 by record label EMI.

Tanx was released on 28 January 1973 by record label EMI in the UK and Reprise in the US.

Tanx was a hit in UK and Europe but it failed to match the success of The Slider in the US, reaching only No. 102 in the album charts.

Curiously, the popular single "20th Century Boy" was not included on the album, which may have affected sales, as the album (unlike its two predecessors) did not include a hit single.

The album is also widely known to be the last of T. Rex's string of successes since Electric Warrior; their next album Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow would prove to be a financial failure and put Bolan's musical career in jeopardy until 1976. It's also T. Rex's last album released under Reprise Records in the US, as Light of Love, released under Casablanca Records (like Reprise, distributed through Warner Bros. Records), would be the last of their albums released in the US.
