Rex reissue run, with \u003cem\u003eTanx\u003c\/em\u003e on 180-gram clear vinyl for the first time. The album carries the remaster made by Tony Visconti, who produced the original sessions, with mastering engineer Ted Jensen. Demon catalogs it as DEMREC637.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTanx\u003c\/em\u003e came out on March 16, 1973, the fourth T. Rex album under that name. It reached No. 4 in the UK, No. 3 in Germany and No. 5 in Norway, and peaked at No. 102 on the Billboard 200. None of the singles from that stretch made the record. \"20th Century Boy\" sat at the end of a master compiled on New Year's Eve 1972 and was taken off on January 8, which left the album without a single.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of it was recorded at the Château d'Hérouville in France, in a four-day block in early August 1972 and a second session that October, with overdubs at AIR in London. \"Electric Slim and the Factory Hen\" and \"Shock Rock\" were cut in Tokyo that December, without Visconti. Marc Bolan sang and played guitar, with Mickey Finn on percussion, Steve Currie on bass and Bill Legend on drums. Visconti added mellotron and string arrangements, and Howie Casey played saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBolan pushed toward soul and gospel here. Madeline Bell, Lesley Duncan, Vicki Brown, Barry St. John and Sue and Sunny double him on the choruses of \"Left Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys,\" uncredited on the sleeve. John Kosh designed the package around the tank pun in the title, with Peter Howe's front cover photograph of Bolan astride a toy tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenement Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Mister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroken Hearted Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry Honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric Slim and the Factory Hen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col start=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMad Donna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn to Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Is Strange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Street and Babe Shadow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighway Knees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive T.
