You Pretty Things: Glam Queens \u0026 Street Urchins 1970-1976 \/ Various (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eThree CD set. In the teenage wastelands of grey early Seventies Britain, where the musical landscape was dominated by introspective singer-songwriters and dour rock bands, the emergence of the outrageous, androgynous, peacock-plumaged Glam Rock scene provided a vital spark in the dark. Sadly the genre was quickly hijacked by the backroom hustlers of the British music industry and their mutton-dressed-as-glam pop idol marionettes. However, Oh! You Pretty Things ignores such lightweight fripperies to concentrate on the real deal. We focus on the twin central strands of Glam Rock: the cerebral and the visceral, with the artier, experimental element of the scene joined by the Ladbroke Grove street rockers and the Steve Marriott-channelling chirpy Cockney geezer street urchins, many of whom had been to drama school and knew how to strike a pose. Big hits, inexplicable misses, seminal glam texts, cult classics, key album tracks, alternative versions and even a clutch of previously unreleased but essential recordings: Oh! You Pretty Things - housed in a clamshell box that contains a 40-page booklet of amazing photos and incredible stories - assembles all these and more to act as the definitive primer of a relatively short-lived but glorious musical and pop-cultural phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePyjamarama – Roxy Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ma-Ma-Ma Belle – Electric Light Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Barbecutie - Sparks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joey (Single Version) – Pretty Things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tumble With Me – The Hollywood Brats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rolling With My Baby (Single Version) - Silverhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teenage Archangel – Be-Bop Deluxe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On The Ball - Streak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Once Bitten Twice Shy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (Album Version) – Ian Hunter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kerb Crawler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (Single Version) - Hawkwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Payroll - Brutus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bright Lights – England's Glory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Andy Warhol – Dana Gillespie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blue Movie Star - Rococo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e White Light White Heat – Mick Ronson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Send Me The Bill For Your Friendship – Duncan Browne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Powerman – The Kinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Up In The Air – Bearded Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Prettiest Star – Simon Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Cops Are Coming –Heavy Metal Kids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Glittery Obituary – Blackfoot Sue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Street Urchin – Pink Fairies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take Me Bak 'Ome - Slade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Darling – Thin Lizzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cat's Eyes - Zior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Satellite Of Love – Lou Reed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gun – John Cale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lady Easy Action - Despair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shame Shame Shame – The Hammersmith Gorillas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B-Movie Bedtime (Demo Version) – Doctors Of Madness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gimme Some Skin – Iggy ;
