Roll on the next instalment!” Bucketful of Brains “If there was such a genre as ‘Glam Punk’, its on this CD. Crank it up to 11 and you’ll be pogo-ing along to these obscurities as if you’ve known ‘em for decades.” Record Collector “If they ever get around to filming a shit-kicking remake of Scum, one daddy of a soundtrack is ready and waiting.” Classic Rock We roll up with the next album in the Lipsmackin’ 70’s series , and in effect a follow on to the highly successful Velvet Tinmine. What came out of reviews for VT on some tracks were comments about how certain glam tracks were pre cursors to the first punk singles in sound and attitude . So taking this as the concept beginning for Glitterbest (named after the Sex Pistols record company) we’ve pooled this collection of tracks that in some part laid foundations for the later movement. The set ranges across : the terrace aggro stompers of the Jook and Hammersmith Gorillas , who both lead into other tracks by Trevor White (singer/guitarist with the Jook) , and Crushed Butler (again led by the Gorillas legendary Jesse Hector) ; the trashy side with attitude that is the Hollywood Brats, recorded at Olympic in ‘73 ; the pub rock of Ducks Deluxe ; the precursor bands such as Englands Glory lead by Peter Perrett , Lipstick - a 1973 vehicle for Knox of the Vibrators , and the Chris Spedding single that provided an early outing for the Vibrators name .Added to which are some delightfully obscure glam singles that are little gems of spiky attitude or chaotic performance in their own right.
