One copy of the mammoth deluxe edition up for grabs

As we're previously reported, T. Rex's The Slider is being reissued by Edsel as a huge deluxe box set to celebrate the album's 40th anniversary.

The package includes pretty much everything in existence relating to the album, from the original album remastered by Tony Visconti and augmented by B-sides, outtakes and previously unreleased material, via a DVD featuring interviews and performances, a hardback book and sheet music right down to a facsimile of an original Bolan fan club letter - gaze in awe at the full contents here.

The album's out next week, November 26, but we've got a copy to give away to one (mighty lucky) reader. To be in with a chance of winning, just e-mail your answer to the following question to comps@thequietus.com, with SLIDER in the subject line, by midday Monday November 26. It's open to UK residents only, and to read the Quietus Competition terms & conditions, click here.
