T. Rex – Get It On

B-side is Raw Ramp + Electric Boogie though only Raw Ramp appears on the label.

That "special way" of making the large holes (ie. jukebox copies) at the pressing plant might well have involved cutting the centre on a 4-prong cutting head twice, with the disc rotated by an arbitrary amount in between. That explains why the two sets of 4 prongs most often seem to be unevenly and randomly positioned, and why there are no true 8-prong intact centres.

Interesting that Get it On A side is 45rpm, B side is 33.3rpm! Unusual.

Purchased 50+ years after buying the original. Impressed with my gut instinct at the age of 14 of what a great record this was/is.

Bought this in 1971 but sold it years later only to regret it! This is not the original record but a reissue. Original had BUG10 on the rear cover. Just paid £9.99 plus postage on ebay. Its mint condition and numbered

This is a UK edition (or at least the pictures are)

There were infact 3 pressing runs of this record first two by EMI and the third to meet demands contracted out to Decca

1st. most undinked with sold centres silver on black labels first 5,000 had card picture sleeves

2nd most undinked with soild centres white on black labels plain white die-cut sleeves

3rd Decca contract pressing all with dinked 4pin OC's (optional centre) white on black labels plain white die-cut sleeves

(How this little chugging rocker was called "Bang-A-Gong" in the USA was crazy, they didn't rename Metal Guru "Is It You" just some idiot and communications waffle over at Warner Bros.Burbank)

Only glam-rock song that was heavily inspired by Chuck Berry. Overplayed, and still sounds good.
