Editorial Reviews

2CD set and Digitally Remastered. Glam rock was more than just a singer in silver stack heel and glitter dust in his hair, chanting crowd-pleasing anthems. It was a way of life for the fans and the bands that subscribed to the cult during the early Seventies. It was about music and fashion and above all - about having fun and lots of hit records. A surprising range of artist came under the Glam Rock Banner, many of them featured on this indispensable collection. There's drummer Cozy Powell, who scored a great hit with 'Dance With The Devil' and Cockney Rebel whose singer Steve Harley came up with the classic 'Make Me Smile.' Barefoot Sue created a stomping, percussive hit with 'I'm Standing In The Road' and Wizard created a party mood with 'See My Baby Jive.'

This review is from: Dynamite: Best of Glam Rock (Audio CD)

Glam defined the mid 70's. This collection captures all the best including well known artists like the Sweet with more obscure (especially in the states) but still great artists like Mud and the Rubettes. Put on your wedgies and enjoy.

This review is from: Dynamite: Best of Glam Rock (Audio CD)

Wonderful example of 70's Glam Rock, although there are a handful of songs I would have left out, and some big hits of the time were left out, but overall a great collection, I highly recommend it.
