Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release. The Ty Rex corner of Ty Segall's oeuvre represents the nom-de-rock behind which the artist puts his spin on favored Tyrannosaurus Rex and T. Rex compositions. With previous releases now dwelling in out-of-print nether-regions, the album compiles the six-song Ty Rex EP (a.k.a. Ty Rex I, originally released by Goner as a limited edition 12-inch for Record Store Day 2011) and the two-song Ty Rex II 7-inch (RSD 2013). As if this wasn't enough of a corrective gesture, Ty Rex is expanded to include a previously-unreleased cover as a bonus. The compilation showcases a nice balance between T. Rex's '67-70 psych-folk incarnation under the name Tyrannosaurus Rex and the better-known pioneering and perfecting of glam-rock that defined the initial '71-73 era under the shortened T. Rex moniker.
