I'm with you on both of these. I've never ventured further backward into the T-Rex timeline than A Beard of Stars, but I really don't know if I'd be interested in the folky acoustic pre-name shortening material. ABOS feels like the origin point of T. Rex, even though it was technically still Tyrannosaurs Rex.
Re: Ghost of Tom Joad was one of the first Springsteen albums I remember really getting into. Part of what drew me to it was how starkly it contrasted albums like Tunnel Of Love and Born in the USA, and how much it seemed to piss off E-Street Band fans. No Glory Days here, bubs.
