Thank you for your nice comments! It was very special for us to cover this song at that time when, in America, very few bands were doing T.Rex songs. It was an honor to bring Marc Bolan back to the U.S. Billboard Charts in 1981! Love to all ~ Richard Barone
Mambo Sun by T.Rex is an undoubted rock classic. This is one of the best cover versions of a T.Rex song ever! The guitar sound is perfect and is a brilliant pastiche of Marc Bolan's style.

Great album with Numbers with Wings and other great songs!
Cover de T.Rex do álbum Electric Warrior, de 71.
One of the rare cases where the cover surpasses the original. I think the increase in tempo was a major plus.
