Glam Slam & Escape (Collective)

In the sticky-floored back rooms of 1970s London, where the beer was warm, the shirts were louder than the amps, and the hangover started before the encore even finished… there strutted a gang of piss-taking, booze-soaked, platform-heeled rascals who turned every gig into a glorious pub brawl with guitars. They had a singer who looked like a rock ’n’ roll pirate, a bassist who played like he was trying to wake the dead, and a drummer who hit the skins like he was personally o

Step back into the glitter-soaked, platform-heeled, electric-booted madness of the early 70s – where rock became theatre and the world turned day-glo. This is your time machine built from original music papers, scrapbook clippings, record sleeves, adverts, reviews, and every scrap of 1970–1976 ephemera we can lay our hands on. Feel the bass drum stomp of Slade, the cosmic curl of Bolan’s hair, the sneer of Alice Cooper swinging from a gallows, the alien cool of Bowie’s lightn

The stomping, sax-blasting, silver-suited engine room that turned glam into a gang! Before they had a name, they were simply “the band” – the group of session musicians who gave Gary Glitter his trademark wall-of-sound stomp. When they stepped out front in 1974, they kept the glitter but added harmonies, horns, and pure bubblegum joy. The Classic Line-Up John Rossall – sax, vocals, ideas man Gerry Shephard – lead guitar, vocals (the pretty one) Pete Phipps – drums, vocals Ton

The Godfather of Punk – shirtless, fearless, and still bleeding on stage at 77. Before there was glam, before there was punk, before there was shock rock as we know it, there was a skinny kid from Michigan crawling through broken glass, smearing peanut butter on his chest, and inventing a whole new way to destroy yourself in front of an audience.

The leather-clad poet who dragged the Velvet Underground's shades into the daylight and painted them glitter-black. He never wore platforms, never needed a spaceship, and definitely didn’t smile for the cameras… but without this deadpan, sunglasses-at-night New York City vampire, glam rock would have sounded a lot less dangerous The Glam Slam Essentials Transformer (1972) – Album Release (1972)Bowie & Ronson production magic. “Walk on the Wild Side”, “Perfect Day”, “Satellite

The scruffy, sarcastic, Bowie-boosted misfits who turned Dylan leftovers into glitter-soaked anthems and nearly broke up every week – but gave us “All the Young Dudes” anyway They looked like they’d been dragged out of a pub fight, sounded like the Rolling Stones after three bottles of Newcastle Brown, and had a singer who wore shades indoors and a guitarist who dressed like a Victorian undertaker on his day off. Yet for one glorious 1972–1974 stretch, they were the coolest g

The trashiest, lipsticked, high-heeled punks who looked like they mugged the Rolling Stones in an alley and stole their wardrobe. They didn’t come from London with perfect hair and spaceships – they staggered out of the Lower East Side in torn fishnets, smeared mascara, and thrift-store dresses, playing three-chord chaos like the world was ending tomorrow (because for them, it probably was).

The operatic, over-the-top, caped crusaders who turned rock into theatre and made every stadium their playground. They didn’t just play glam – they hijacked it, cranked the volume to eleven, layered harmonies like cathedrals, and gave the world a singer who strutted in harlequin leotards and a crown. The Glam Slam Essentials Queen (1973) – Album Release (1973)The debut – “Keep Yourself Alive”, “Liar” – raw, heavy, and already ridiculous. Queen II (1974) – Album Release (1974)
