Album Notes & Community Reviews

Focusing exclusively on their highly successful, David Bowie-resuscitated Columbia Records era, this release distills the essence of British glam-rock swagger. Ian Hunter's Dylan-esque vocal delivery and the band's anthemic, theatrical riffing bridge the crucial gap between traditional hard rock and the burgeoning punk scene.
