Oh Yes We Can Love: A History Of Glam Rock – 5 CD Universal -28/10/2013

Alcuni dei brani contenuti sono Glam come me e, come nel caso del Box della Rhino sulla Musica Gotica, A Live Less Lived, centrano come i cavoli a merenda (i Bauhaus sono in entrambe le compilations, per essere Glam basta fare un pezzo di David Bowie?), ma è proprio il bello di questi cofanetti, spesso è più interessante l’involucro del contenuto (però francamente Howlin’ Wolf glam, avete presente l’omone e la voce, per non parlare del genere?). E ci sono moltissimi altri esempi.

Per fortuna non costerà neppure moltissimo, sotto i 50 euro. Leggete la lista e giudicate da voi. Vi sembra manchi qualcosa? (Per esempio di Bowie solo una canzone e tra le tante proprio quella!).
