If you hear a few sniffles or sobs don't worry I'll be happy. The DVD comes in a white box with a silhouette of Marc sitting on a tiger in its centre. Above this are the rather large diamond studded letters of T. REX and above this in red letters Marc Bolan. Underneath the silhouette is the DVD title Born to Boogie. At the very bottom are a few of the stars on the DVD namely, T.Rex, Marc Bolan, Ringo Starr and Elton John. On the back of the box is a list of Scenes and things you can expect to find on the DVD. Inside is an information booklet and two DVD's. DISC ONE... Read review
