Hope you can find it....It came out around 1990 , and was easy to find , as were some comps like "Glam Crazee" (My copy of that was stolen , but , I've been able to replace most , not all the tracks....), which came out on CD and Cassette. A DVD of both volumes of "GlamRock" would be the ticket , but , I guess it's never sell , here. They might have been anticipating a Glam revival in The U.S. that never happened.

Glam Rock may be correct.  I've just dug through a bunch of stuff looking for it to confirm, but I can't seem to find most of my old VHS tapes.  I'll keep searchin'.

DO YOU MEAN THE COMMERCIAL RELEASE , JUST CALLED "GLAM ROCK"? 

GREAT STUFF. There's a volume 2 , not released in the states , with Sparks , Alvin Stardust , Mud , Suzi Quatro and the usual suspects.

A good friend gave me a video on VHS many years ago with all the old school glam fav's like Sweet, Gary Glitter, Slade, T-Rex with the footage being sourced from American Bandstand style British television.  This was fantastic since there was no such thing as YouTube back then.  I may have to dig that up.  Overall, I think Sweet had the catchiest/hookiest songs to back up their outlandish persona.  Check 'em out here:

That's so cool. : )

My mum was a massive Glam fan, heard a lot of it as a kid. The Sweet are still a band I can listen to at almost any given time.

A while back, someone posted a link to a documentary on Screaming Lord Sutch.........and I didn't save it..(duh)....a long shot I know.....but if it was you, please could you post it again?.....I'd like to watch it again....

Thanks!

In '66-67, when I was 12-13, I used to scour the cutouts at Woolworth's. I remember getting earlier Stones albums for less than new singles. All kinds of other stuff, too, like the first two Mothers albums, Seeds, whatever stopped selling after a year. It was a different world.

Wow , I was just barely making over $3 from my crap job when "Some Girls" was the most recent Rolling Stones album , so I barely had any money for records. With younger people , the 60's were still a singles market , kids who were too young to work , but could scrounge the 60 cents for a single by not drinking milk for a week or something .

In many cases  people probably were just as happy with a couple of singles than an iffy LP.....But , The Stones, who were putting out albums about every four months from 64 - 66 , more or less , were usually very consistent. Then , of course , Sgt. Pepper came out , and ALBUM ROCK was born..... Radio stations started playing long tracks and non - single cuts , but the Hot 100 kept chugging along. I'll still take "Their Satanic Majesties".

Not so sure about that...I remember albums were $3, less on sale. That was about an hour's pay for your average crappy job, just like the cost of a CD or album DL is about an hour's pay for the same crappy job today. More or less. Singles were something like 60 cents. So I don't really think that was it. The filler, yeah, maybe. But I think it was a holdover from 78s, which had been the standard for decades. Plus, radio was a strong factor, they played the hits, that's what the singles were.

David Kitching said:

The reason singles were so important in the sixties was that LP's were so expensive. Another reason was the already mentioed filler tracks, I'd hear people saying how they'd bought an LP and there was a load of boring crap on it. And they wouldn't buy anything else by them.

You really should. ALL those albums are essential.

I understand your point.  I myself get tired of hearing "Happy" and "Tumbling Dice."  However, there are some overlooked gems on the albums I just mentioned, such as "Stray Cat Blues" from "Beggars' Banquet," "Live With Me" from "Let It Bleed" and "Soul Survivor" from "Exile."

 

As far as their early stuff goes, I only have "England's Newest Hitmakers" and "12x5."  I might be getting "Aftermath" and "Their Satanic Majesties Request" in the near future.

This has always been a debate that I would have with other Stones fans...Everybody I know considers "Exile" to be the best album in their whole discography, which I'm not disagreeing at all on that. For me personally, I'll take "pre-1970" Stones anyday. I have nothing against '70's era Stones music, but it's so overplayed, especially on most any rock station (it definately is here). The '60's era Stones gets so overlooked nowadays, with only a huge hit, like say "Satisfaction" getting airplay on said radio stations. And whatever oldies stations that even do exist anymore, choose to overlook many of their gems that us garageheads really dig. So overexposure of their catalogue has definately influenced my tastes on such a great band, however, being that I love '60's garage rock 'n' roll, I find their "1st Wave" to be more of a fit for me...

you know the more I hear the boots from the 70's with Mick Taylor, the more I tend to like his era best.  His guitar work was some of the best guitar work in a Rock and Roll band, ever, In my opinion.  He even made Keith step up his game during this period.  It is hard to rule out the Brian Jones years, which I am not.  I also dig some of Bigger Bang too.  The interplay between Ron and Keith is amazing too.  Those weaves of sound they creat live are incredible.  So, I guess if I had to choose one era, it would be the Mick Taylor years.  I am hoping for a reunion with Taylor for the 50 anniversary.  

  I was not a big fan of Post "Beggar's Banquet" Stones for years. Not like I thought it was bad, but , I had it coming out of my ears , some 20 - odd years ago. I've always been a huge fan of the Brian Jones - era Stones , but , now , I'm a fan of all those albums you mention .....

All great records , no denying. But , I like the more unlikely  stuff , too....I really like "Their Satanic Majesties Request" and "Between The Buttons". I even like "Metamorphosis" , though that's not really an "Album". If you go over their back catalogue with a fine toothed comb (And scour the better bootlegs.) , you'll find great songs that most 'Fans" won't recognize  , and tribute bands would'nt touch , even if The Stones themselves  might slip them into their show. But , yes , this was a great creative period , and let's not forget "Get Your Ya Ya's Out".

Yeah, anybody can, but they have hordes of no-no volunteers whose hobby is finding articles to recommend for deletion.

Hell, I didn't even know it took much to get on Wikipedia in the first place. Can't anybody just write anything? Most Wiki articles I see have some outlandishly wrong factoid in the first place!

Definitely better. As the saying goes, "Don't ever grow up. It's a trap." Shouldn't you be in a band to have fun in the first place?

SMF said:

Here's who cares about my band:

Me

Otto

Dave

Andy 

We ARE the band...

That's all that matters!

We are back in the recording studio next month. Who cares about that? See above.

This is certainly better than growing up...

The Bucky Rage... but then I'm a bit biased. Was a massive fan before I stepped in on bass though.

Coyote Men!

Deadbolt, Los Straightjackets, Knuckle Dragger, and there used to be a band here in Phoenix in the early 90's called Mid Evil Knevils that wore Evil Knevil out fits. Their line was "we were these helmets for your protection"

Great news!

YES!

AWESOME I wish they would come somewhere on the west coast to play.

Check out the July 8th Show!

Let me guess, the other one is by The Spys...Underground/Machine Shop
