The Vintage Glam Rock 1970s Hits

Welcome to my vintage UK Glam rock hits programme. Glam rock was a style of rock that developed in the U.K. in the early 1970s and performed by musicians who wore outrageous costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, particularly platform shoes and glitter. The flamboyant clothing and visual styles of performers were often camp or androgynous, and have been described as playing with non-traditional gender roles. The UK charts were inundated with glam rock acts from 1971 to 1975, with glam also manifesting in all areas of British popular culture during this period. The March 1971 appearance of T. Rex front-man Marc Bolan on the BBC's music show Top Of The Pops, wearing glitter and satins, is often cited as the beginning of the movement. I've included a couple of tracks by Gary Glitter. Despite having been convicted and imprisoned, he cannot simply be airbrushed out of glam rock hence their inclusion.
