Electric Warrior is the second studio album by English rock band T. Rex and their sixth since their 1968 debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex, released on 24 September 1971. The album marked a turning point in the band’s style, moving away from the folk-oriented sound of the group’s previous albums and pioneering a more flamboyant, pop-oriented glam rock style. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and became the best-selling album of 1971 in that country. Specifically, the single “Get It On” helped to boost the album’s sales, reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Retitled “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” by the US record company, it also became the band’s only North American hit. Electric Warrior has since received acclaim as a pivotal release in the glam rock movement. It had a profound influence on later musicians of different genres.
