"GET IT ON is the first in a series of releases devoted to re-issuing the Bolan catalogue. Many unreleased recordings are included on the album and throughout the series. These recordings illustrate the diversity, intelligence, style and sheer entertainment of Bolan's songwriting, and go some way to explain Marc Bolan's emergence as a major rock/pop icon." "Spaceball Ricichet" and "Metal Guru" are 'work-in-progress' versions and "Buick McKane And The Babe Shadow" is a fictitious title, invented after Bolan died. It's correct title is 'Buick Mackane' which is also the title of the well-known The Slider album track. These tracks feature on the album Rabbit Fighter (The Alternate Slider). "Funky London Childhood" is included on the album Prince Of Players (The Alternate Dandy In The Underworld). "Eastern Spell", "The Beginning Of Doves", "Mustang Ford" and "Pictures Of Purple People" are taken from the album The Beginning Of Doves. "Children Of The Revolution", "Laser Love", "Depth Charge" and "Hot George" have been posthumously overdubbed / remixed (uncredited). Jewel case with 6-page fold-out booklet.
