Bolan Boogie is a compilation album released by T. Rex in 1972. After Marc Bolan had left Fly Records to form his own label distributed through EMI/T. Rex Wax Co, his former label Fly released this "best of..." compilation with recent A an B sides many of which had not appeared on previous albums. Also included are songs from the early Tyrannosaurus Rex albums. Bolan Boogie went straight to the top of the album charts and became Bolan's second No.1 album through Fly Records (following Electric Warrior).
