Glam an Eyewitness Account
Author(s): Rock Mick
A seminal collection of images of the glam rock era taken by legendary photographer Mick Rock. 'Glam was about make-up, mirros and andogyny. It was narcissistic, obsessive, decadent and subversive. It was bohemian, but also strangely futuristic. It was Oscar Wilde meets a Clockwork Orange. It was a time we thought would never end. A time so long ago now it seems like a dream. But it wasn't and I have picture to prove it. Mick Rock.
