 Artist: Glitter Band: mp3 download Genre(s): Other Glitter Band's discography:  Angel Face Year: 1993 Tracks: 10 Named for their associations with glam god Gary Glitter, the Glitter Band originally came together in 1972, next Glitter's have find with the hit "Tilt and Roll." With his first major concert turn looming, Glitter and producer conspirator Mike Leander required a full-time stand-in band, unitary which would -- though they could never have got dreamed it at the time -- at long last turn nigh as successful, and sure sufficiency as well-known, as Gary Glitter himself. Although the band was not physically submit on any of Glitter's possess hits (according to the vocalist, Mike Leander lonely played every instrument himself), the Glitter Band non only when attended Glitter on each of his tours and telecasting appearances, they also racked up seven hits of their possess, sise of them as well making the Top Ten. Even more than impressively, piece the band's original sound was indeed firmly cut off in the fashion of their namesake, by the end of their career, the grouping had highly-developed into a altogether original and dead fascinating behave in their possess right. The Glittermen, as the grouping was originally known, was reinforced around an idea which Glitter and Leander had first experimented with during the mid-'60s, a sprawl jazz band whose levelheaded and visuals were based upon a unique (for British acts) congress of Racial Equality of two drummers and deuce saxophonists. Their selection of bandleader, also, reached plump for to that in the first place eRA -- baritone horn adolphe Sax player John Rossall had antecedently played with Leander's possess eponymous Show Band and alongside Glitter in the subsequent Boston International. The conclusion to plunge the Glitter Band as a recording act in their own right was made in late 1973. Written by John Rossall and Gerry Shepherd, their debut single, "Holy man Face," was an obvious close relation of the parent Glitter sound, a pounding, stomping number which raced to phone number four in Britain in March, 1974, merely it was emphatically demoniac of a appeal all of its possess. It was followed by "Simply for You" and "Let's Get Together Again," both of which unbroken the grouping in the Top Ten, patch their debut album, Hey, reached phone number 13 and that despite being comprised of slight more than than reprises of the hits. Grounds that the Glitter Band were capable of meeting greater challenges than the Glitter sound unremarkably offered was delivered in early 1975 by their one-fourth single, the diffused john Rock lay "So long My Love." An absolute departure, "Good day My Love" climbed to number deuce, piece the group's abilities as songwriters received some other encourage when labelmates Hello scored a European dispatch with a overlay of the Glitter Band's own "Game's Up." (How-do-you-do besides scored with another Heygeological era staple, a cover of the Exciters' "Tell Him.") Buoyed by the massive success of "Cheerio My Love," the Glitter Band selected another mild rock 'n' roll musician for their adjacent single, "The Tears I Cried," following through over the side by side 12 months with the likewise styled "Love life in the Sun" and "People Like You, People Like Me." Two further albums, Rock'n'Roll Dudes and Listen to the Band, were equally brave, with the group's aspiration today so pronounced that they even brushed away the first signs that their before indomitability was crack: the chart failure of the singles "Alone Again" and "Don't Make Promises." In 1976, with Gary Glitter having announced his retirement, the Glitter Band cut their last sonic golf links with the old sound. With John Rossall having depart for a solo calling, the unexpended members signed with CBS and, shortening their name to the G Band, adjust to work on on their most ambitious ingathering nevertheless, Genus Paris Match. An absolutely un-Glitter-like determine, it was characterized by a genuinely barefaced cover of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." Unfortunately, though the banding had stirred on, their fans hadn't -- so, as one waggle later put it, in changing their call, they had unbroken the "G," simply the fans treasured the "litter." In late 1977, the radical transferred to Epic for one last single, a cover up of the Bee Gees' "Gotta Get a Message to You," but by 1978, the banding had all merely sundered. 1979 saw Shepherd and Phipps radio link with former Sparks/Jet keyboard instrumentalist Peter Oxendale for the album Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, credited to Shepherd/Oxendale and released in the U.S. only. The Glitter Band regrouped under their previous name in 1980, close to the same fourth dimension as Gary Glitter himself moved back into focus. In 1981, the group released a new single, "Until the Next Time," maintaining a regular flow of further releases through and through the adjacent five-spot years. A modern album, recorded bouncy at the London Marquee Club, appeared in 1985, while a succession of hits collections (several featuring freshly re-recorded material) unbroken their cite awake on the record shelves. There are two Glitter Band's in cognitive operation, unrivaled featuring Shepherd, the early -- Glitz Blitz/Glitter Band, fronted by Phipps. |
