THE HISTORY OF GLAM

VA - Oh Yes We Can Love, the History of Glam Rock [2013] (5 x CD's)

With 91 tracks on 5 CDs, the new compilation box set Oh Yes We Can Love, The History Of Glam Rock roams the grand history of glam rock from its early pioneers to global triumph in the early 1970s and far beyond. The visual counterpart to music is a 100-page booklet with rare single covers and a new essay by Barney Hoskins, the co-founder of the pop journalistic online archive Rock's Backpages and author of the book Glam. Bowie, Bolan and the Glitter Rock Revolution.

Glam rock combined the simplicity of rock'n'roll with the London fashion revolution of the 1960s. Simple, crisp guitar rock and catchy catchy music met with sultry theatrics, eccentric androgyny, and wonderful kitsch full of sex appeal. Even if purists locate the beginning of glam on Marc Bolan's 1971 Electric Warrior album and its end two years later, when David Bowie killed his alter ego Ziggy Stardust, glam actually goes a lot further. His roots are in the dazzling African American rock and roll heroes Little Richard and Chuck Berry and the cabaret songs of the 1930s by the British dramatist and composer Noel Coward. In addition to Bolan's "trashy" glam style and the artistically sophisticated glam of Bowie and Roxy Music, there was the "Glitter" by Gary Glitter, Slade and Suzi Quatro, which was incredibly successful commercially at the beginning of the '70s, and the dark, American glam of the New York Dolls. Superstars like Elton John, Kiss and the Rolling Stones picked up glam in the 1970s, and glam set the course in pop culture: punk, post-punk (especially Gothic), the glam punk of Hanoi Rocks and Marilyn Manson and the Brit pop from Suede and Pulp are unthinkable without him.

With a real firework of hits (glam actually sounded best in the glory of mainstream success) Oh Yes We Can Love, The History Of Glam Rock embarks on a fascinating journey through time that begins with Noel Coward and with post-glam bands like Goldfrapp ends - with many, many points in between. The elaborately designed box is equally suitable for beginners and for experts. Spot on for glam. (Amazon)
