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. Enjoy three hours of 55 fantastic glam rock songs which is loud and proud from the offset. Cozy Powell, Barry Blue, Sweet, Gary Glitter, Mud

UK Top 40: 2nd July 1977

In the year that we were celebrating the Queen's Silver Jubilee, the one record in this week's chart that made any reference to old Liz was banned by the BBC - but never fear, you'll hear it in this chart, along with every other song in this Top 40 from 39 years ago. This week's chart contained no less than four double-A side singles, so with both sides of those there's a total of 44 songs in this show.
