Glam Rock Time Now!

10-16-08 Glam Rock Time Now!

In February / March 2005, I was totally about finding as much UK 70’s “Glam Rock” as I could. At the February ’05 Claremont, CA record swap meet, a guy showed up that had most of the LP’s on this list – reasonably priced! I was also buying stuff on-line (from Germany), and scouring local record stores for material of this nature.
