by Mark Paytress (Author)
Drawing on interviews with stars and musicians, producers and photographers, stylists, writers and celebrity fans, Glam chronicles the glam era from its origins in 1970, through its 1972/73 heyday to its mid-seventies collapse and the death of Marc Bolan in September 1977. Fully illustrated throughout, the book includes a wealth of visual material, be it band shots, record sleeves, and pin-up posters, or the era's best clobber, magazines, and assorted memorabilia.
