During the time period of this album, 1968 and 1969, T. Rex was actually known as Tyrannosaurus Rex. But I'm just using "T. Rex" to keep it consistent across all the albums. Also for this time period, the band was a duo consisting of Marc Bolan (who sang and wrote all the songs) and Steve Peregrin Took.
Like the previous volume, everything here is sourced from the official box set "Marc Bolan at the BBC." Also like that volume, I sometimes edited the songs to remove BBC DJs talking over the music. However, for this album I seem to have not kept track of which songs those were.
Note that tracks 15, 16, and 17 are actually poems spoken by Bolan.
For this album, Bolan was still pursuing the same musical style as on Volume 1. That had a more limited appeal compared to his glam rock style that begins with Volume 3.
This album is 42 minutes long.

The cover photo shows Bolan and Took. I'm not sure of the details of when and where it was taken.
