In the teenage wastelands of grey early Seventies Britain, where the musical landscape was dominated by introspective singer-songwriters and dour rock bands, the emergence of the outrageous, androgynous, peacock-plumaged Glam Rock scene provided a vital spark in the dark. Sadly the genre was quickly hijacked by the backroom hustlers of the British music industry and their mutton-dressed-as-glam pop idol marionettes. However, Oh! You Pretty Things ignores such lightweight fripperies to concentrate on the real deal. We focus on the twin central strands of Glam Rock: the cerebral and the visceral, with the artier, experimental element of the scene joined by the Ladbroke Grove street rockers and the Steve Marriott-channelling chirpy Cockney geezer street urchins, many of whom had been to drama school and knew how to strike a pose. Big hits, inexplicable misses, seminal glam texts, cult classics, key album tracks, alternative versions and even a clutch of previously unreleased but essential recordings: Oh! You Pretty Things - housed in a clamshell box that contains a 40-page booklet of amazing photos and incredible stories - assembles all these and more to act as the definitive primer of a relatively short-lived but glorious musical and pop-cultural phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Pyjamarama – Roxy Music \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ma-Ma-Ma Belle – Electric Light Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Barbecutie - Sparks \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Joey (Single Version) – Pretty Things \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Tumble With Me – The Hollywood Brats \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Rolling With My Baby (Single Version) - Silverhead \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Teenage Archangel – Be-Bop Deluxe \u003cbr\u003e1.8 On The Ball - Streak \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Once Bitten Twice Shy \u003cbr\u003e1.10 (Album Version) – Ian Hunter \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Kerb Crawler \u003cbr\u003e1.12 (Single Version) - Hawkwind \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Payroll - Brutus \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Bright Lights – England's Glory \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Andy Warhol – Dana Gillespie \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Blue Movie Star - Rococo \u003cbr\u003e1.17 White Light White Heat – Mick Ronson \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Send Me The Bill For Your Friendship – Duncan Browne \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Powerman – The Kinks \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Up In The Air – Bearded Lady \u003cbr\u003e1.21 The Prettiest Star – Simon Turner \u003cbr\u003e1.22 The Cops Are Coming –Heavy Metal Kids \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Glittery Obituary – Blackfoot Sue \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Street Urchin – Pink Fairies \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Take Me Bak 'Ome - Slade \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Little Darling – Thin Lizzy \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Cat's Eyes - Zior \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Satellite Of Love – Lou Reed \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Gun – John Cale \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Lady Easy Action - Despair \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Shame Shame Shame – The Hammersmith Gorillas \u003cbr\u003e2.8 B-Movie Bedtime (Demo Version) – Doctors Of Madness \u003cbr\u003e2.9 Gimme Some Skin – Iggy ; The Stooges \u003cbr\u003e2.10 Rat Crawl – Third World War \u003cbr\u003e2.11 Give Yourself A Chance – Agnes Strange \u003cbr\u003e2.12 Chance Meeting – Bryan Ferry \u003cbr\u003e2.13 The Purple Speed Queen – Curved Air \u003cbr\u003e2.14 Earthling - Jobriath \u003cbr\u003e2.15 Big Day – Phil Manzanera Featuring Eno \u003cbr\u003e2.16 Around And Around - Slowload \u003cbr\u003e2.17 Strange Movies – The Troggs \u003cbr\u003e2.18 Rosie's Coming To Town - Rosie \u003cbr\u003e2.19 Queenage Baby – Wayne County \u003cbr\u003e2.20 Sweet Transvestite – Tim Curry \u003cbr\u003e2.21 The Six Teens - Sweet \u003cbr\u003e3.1 Personality Crisis – New York Dolls \u003cbr\u003e3.2 I'm Waiting For The Man – Tina Harvey \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Small Town, Big Adventures – John Howard \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Space Ace – Brett Smiley \u003cbr\u003e3.5 The Dancer – Leo Sayer \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Peaches (What's It All About?) - Richmond \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Going Home - Strawbs \u003cbr\u003e3.8 I Love You For Your Mind (Not Your Body) - A Raincoat \u003cbr\u003e3.9 The Monk – Rupert Hine \u003cbr\u003e3.10 All I Wanna Be - Rusty \u003cbr\u003e3.11 The Browns - Duffy \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Last Chance – The Winkies \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Ragman – Hard Stuff \u003cbr\u003e3.14 Dog Meat – Flamin' Groovies \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Dozy Dora - Bullfrog \u003cbr\u003e3.16 Little Girl - Spiv \u003cbr\u003e3.17 Not Fade Away (Single Version) - Fumble \u003cbr\u003e3.18 High School Dropout – Crushed Butler \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Dodgem Dude (Demo Version) – Michael Moorcock ; The Deep Fix \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Hollywood Nites – Kim Fowley \u003cbr\u003e3.21 King Of The Night Time World – Hollywood Stars \u003cbr\u003e3.22 The Last Of The Teenage Idols – The Sensational Alex Harvey Band \u003cbr\u003e3.23 Saturday Gigs – Mott The Hoople\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39273987178567,"sku":"41231630","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3896359-2660574.jpg?v=1711729873","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/oh-you-pretty-things-glam-queens-street-urchins-oh-you-pretty-things-glam-queens-street-urchins-1970-1976-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
