T. Rex – The Groover / Midnight (50th Anniversary)

As part of our T. Rex “1973” year campaign, alongside the “Whatever Happened To The Teenage Dream?” 5LP and 4CD box sets, and the “Songwriter: 1973” LP, Demon Records will be issuing T. Rex’s 1973 singles as highly collectable limited edition 7” picture discs, with photos from the Keith Morris archive.

The second release is “The Groover”, originally released in early June 1973. It peaked in the UK charts at number 4, while 10cc (“Rubber Bullets”), Fleetwood Mac (“Albatross”) and Suzi Quatro (“Can The Can”) occupied the top three positions. “The Groover” stayed in the charts for nine weeks.

Neither “The Groover” or its B-side “Midnight” appeared on the “Zinc Alloy” album, released in January 1974.
