As the 70s took hold of the UK, the colourful expectations of the 60s had all butfaded away. The Op Art, the psychedelics & the Victorian militria had been replaced by the greys and browns of geometric wallpaper, the three day week and the oh-so dull Heath/Wilson pendulum. Splashing a much-needed burst of posterpaint colour around came the movement which was to be known as Glam Rock. No one minded that its chief protagonists had been round the block a few times before. Marc Bolan, Gary Glitter, Alvin Stardust, Mud, The Sweet, Roy Wood & Slade had all been stomping around with varying degrees of success for many years. Tottering precariously around on silver platforms, made up like provocative pantomime dames, playing a strange drum-heavy confection based on Rock & Roll mixed with nursery rhyme pop simplicity, the pop world had its sparkling alternative to the head-nodding complexity of the double concept album. Here's a collection of splendid Glam obscurities, all laced with a harder edge, as if to prove that, should the need ever arise, these artistes could more than match their progressive counterparts for rock sensibility. And who said tank tops were a thing of the past?"
