Glam Rock at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Classic Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV performances from T. Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Alice Cooper, Suzi Quatro, Slade, The Sweet, Elton John, Queen, Sparks and many more.

A spangly celebration of the outburst of far-out pop and fuzz-filled rock that lit up the British charts in the early 1970s. Top of the Pops is our primary arena and its gloriously gaudy visual effects are used here aplenty! The compilation also utilises footage from a selection of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ concerts as well as from Crackerjack and Cilla. It features classic Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV performances from T. Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Alice Cooper, Suzi Quatro, Slade, The Sweet, Elton John, Queen, Sparks and many more.
