A four-disc deluxe edition celebrating the T. Rex & Marc Bolan ‘Motion Picture’ Born to Boogie is to be released in June.

The Ringo Starr directed film (released in 1972) featured live versions of T. Rex’s greatest hits, recorded at their famous Wembley concerts, as well a legendary jam session with T.Rex joined by Ringo Starr and Elton John, and a mad hatter’s tea party with Catweazle and (Bolan/Bowie producer) Tony Visconti.

The new deluxe edition contains masses of content across two DVDs including the film, both Wembley Concerts in full (5.30 and 8,30 show) as well as documentaries, trailers and other bonus content. The concerts were filmed on 16mm with a soundtrack recorded to 8- and 16-track, mixed to 5.1 by Tony Visconti. The two CDs (available separately) also contain the audio of both Wembley shows.



The video content is also available on a standalone blu-ray (first time on the format) and other goodies are available via the official T. Rex store including a special seven-inch single and an A2 movie poster.

The deluxe edition is packaged within a book (featuring new annotation by Mark Paytress) and comes with some lobby cards which are exclusive to the T. Rex store. That means it will be available on Amazon and the like at some point sans lobby cards. Update: It’s listed on Amazon UK now. However with a sub-£30 price tag this this appears to be decent value from the off.

Born to Boogie – The Motion Picture deluxe edition is released on 13 June 2016.

  1. Paul, looking to order this..the link to the T.Rex store seems not to work. I want all the content so ordering the Blu Ray separately…appears on Amazon as NTSC only? Any information here? Cheers

  3. I am at a loss as to why the Bluray edition is not the deluxe edition with everything included. The extras are very welcome and it’s a lovely product but why am I left feeling as if I am having my hat nailed on?

  8. I still have the original VHS release.When the last DVD and CD soundtrack were being prepared I explained to the inestimable Martin Barden that, back in the day, I ‘won’ a Slider promo badge in a 1972 Melody Maker giveaway-it never arrived. Martin salved the decades-long hurt with a marvellous BTB goodies package via Sanctuary.
    Looking forward to these releases,esp the coloured vinyl on RSD-if I can nab one…

  9. I don’t have the original release of this on CD and DVD to hand – so there’s quite a bit of extra unreleased stuff on these new versions?

  10. NO!!! Make this stop! Why must this be released all over Earth and not in the U.S. of A.?! Or at least some access to it?! This happened with his last box sets! Maybe I will be able to order through Canada?!

  13. Great news for all Bolan/T.Rex fans.
    However the Blu Ray doesn’t have the 8.30 show so to get all of the video content you have to buy the non Blu Ray deluxe box (from what I can make out)
    This is a bit annoying as this will be the 4th version of Born To Boogie I will have bought and I would have liked the whole package to include Blu Ray.
