Dig
out your platforms and your
Noddy Holder mirrored top hat
because with this release from Glam Rock is
back!!!
Boasting 20 fantabulous tracks
Glam Rock features prime acts
from the era strutting their
stuff in live performances on
German TV show Musik Laden so we
are able to see the likes of T.
Rex, Roxy Music, Sweet,
Showaddywaddy and The Bay City
Rollers playing live, although
it's true some of the
manufactured groups still mime
during their performances.
The disc opens with a relatively
straight looking Marc Bolan
leading T. Rex with a funky
version of Jeepster, later
towards the end of the disc we
get to see him perform 20th
Century Boy a couple of years
later when the fame has got hold
of him and he is all feather
boas and whacked out drugginess.
Inbetween we have a truly great
version of Virginia PLain from
the Brian Eno era Roxy Music, a gorgeous
looking Lulu performing Bowie's
The Man Who Sold the World,
David Essex does Rock On and
David Cassidy does Rock Me Baby.
There are a few incongruities
here with the decidedly unglam
Medicine Head making it more
Glum Rock with their song How
Does It Feel and the post glam
Tom Robinson and their
shoutalong 2-4-6-8 Motorway, no
complaints though as these are
still great songs and
performances.
Glam Rock is guaranteed to make
you want to "get down and
get with it" as the great
Noddy might say. Alright.
Alright. Alright.
