Not the best, not the worst

Review Score: (6/10)
Futuristic Dragon is one of my more recent T.Rex purchases and is not one I have to play regularly. It seems as though this is a compilation of recorded tracks and aborted ideas between 1975 and 1976 and a tired Bolan put these tracks together instead of creating an album. Half the album could be the unfinished work of a concept album, hence the tracks 'Futuristic Dragon', 'Calling All Destroyers' and 'Theme For A Dragon'. I understand many of the tracks were recorded around the time of Bolan's Zip Gun and Bolan delayed the release of FD so as not to crowd the market. This would explain Mickey Finn's very audible bongos,which had become very hard to pick out in prevous albums, even though he is not credited in the album. Most tracks seem badly produced but in general this is a good album which lacks any real standout songs and originality.
