![]() - 60ts SOUL R&B MOD NORTHERN SOUL NEW BREED FUNK RARE GROOVE and More - "SOUL GALORE!" - Your Guide To Exceptional CD Reissues and Remasters - AMAZON E-Book of 1380 E-Pages (1).And I had forgotten the brilliance in both "Editions Of You" and "♯ 9 Dream" – Ferry and his gang of Glam marauders shining snotty alongside a sensual-sounding Lennon dreaming of "Walls and Bridges" and elaborate album artwork. Bowie androgynous punk-riffing shadow looms over four entries – Mott The Hoople, Lou Reed, Iggy & The Stooges and Dana Gillespie (looking buxom on never mind 3). ![]() Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn feature large in my youth and frankly anything on RAK Records – so its chipper to see Suzi and The Sweet bask in all their Glam Rock sun and pomp (we don’t know just what to do!). But then genius choices kick in – The Dutch group Smyle is a superb new one on me and the relentlessness of the Faust and Flamin’ Groovies tracks work so well. But I have to say that both The Wackers and The Byrds entries leave me stone cold even if Gene Clark and David Crosby are present on the second. You have to love a compilation that digs down to find the US-only 45s for "End Unkind" and "When My Baby's Beside Me" by Grin (with Nils Lofgren) and Big Star – both great examples of post-Beatles Pop Songs that impress and jangle.
