Details: The essence of ZIP GUN remains firmly in the funky pastures which characterized ZINC ALLOY, with the only significant difference lying in the presentation. Decades on, each of Bolans latter day albums retain a hint of their original controversy, but hindsight lends them an impact (and, for what it's worth, a credibility) which contemporary listeners could have never imagined, and ZIP GUN, an album which scored the worst reviews of all, hits as hard as any of them.
