Oh Yes We Can Love: A History Of Glam Rock 5-disc box set

By Paul Sinclair

Universal Music Catalogue have created Oh Yes We Can Love: A History Of Glam Rock, a new five-CD box set due for release on 28 October 2013.

This 91-track collection charts the life of the genre rather than just focussing on the usual suspects, so although you will find Slade, T Rex, Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Roxy Music et al on this set, disc one takes us right back to Noel Coward, Anthony Newley and The Velvet Underground. Later discs include songs by artists such as Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Morrissey and Suede.

The box will come with a 100-page booklet full of rare single sleeves, and an essay by Barney Hoskyns (author of the Glam!, Bowie, Bolan and the Glitter Rock Revolution).
