	VH1.com : Glitter Band : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
		Glitter's own breakthrough with the hit "Rock and Roll." With his first major concert tour looming, Glitter and producer co-conspirator Mike Leander required a full-time backing band, one which would -- though they could never have dreamed it at the time -- ultimately become almost as successful, and certainly as well-known, as Gary Glitter himself.
		Even more impressively, while the band's original sound was indeed firmly cut in the style of their namesake, by the end of their career, the group had developed into a wholly original and utterly captivating act in their own right.
		In 1976, with Gary Glitter having announced his retirement, the Glitter Band cut their last sonic links with the old sound.

		Meanwhile a number of artists were rediscovering and retransmitting Glitter's work, either by incorporating elements into their own style (as with Alice Cooper, Adam Ant, Marco Pirroni, Kiss, Aerosmith, and The New York Dolls) or by cutting covers of Glitter classics.
		However, Glitter still faced the possibility of some seven years in prison for his offenses, which allegedly included kissing and fondling both girls, ejaculating on the stomach of one girl, and having the other urinate in his mouth.
		Locals interviewed about the case reported that Glitter was often seen in the company of young girls, although he has since claimed he is totally innocent of the charges against him and was merely tutoring the girls in English.

		Glitter's backing band, the aptly named Glitter Band, were launched on a parallel hitmaking career of their own and while attempts to follow up the original American success were less well-starred, "Leader of the Gang" did at least breach the Top 50, in the capable hands of Brownsville Station.
		Glitter's next single, a cover of "Papa Ooh Mow Mow," stalled at #38 and, with successive releases proving similarly catastrophic, the singer announced his retirement in early 1976.
		In 1994, Glitter was one of the stars at the official World [soccer] Cup concert in Chicago, broadcast live to 46 countries.

		Even more impressively, while the band's original sound was indeed firmly cut in the style of their namesake, by the end of their career, the group had developed into a wholly original and utterly captivating act in their own right.
		The Glittermen, as the group was originally known, was built around an idea which Glitter and Leander had first experimented with during the mid-'60s, a sprawling combo whose sound and visuals were based upon a unique (for British acts) core of two drummers and two saxophonists.
		Written by John Rossall and Gerry Shepherd, their debut single, "Angel Face," was an obvious close relation of the parent Glitter sound, a pounding, stomping number which raced to number four in Britain in March, 1974, but it was unquestionably possessed of a charm all of its own.

		In a total contrast to their established image, they recorded the funky "Makes You Blind" in 1976, which was their only record to hit the fl charts, at number 91.
		The band's refusal or inability to make anything in a similar vein enhanced the song's stature as a lucky accident.
		But it lives on as a cult disco-funk item, with people asking tongue-in-cheek what the band was referring to that causes the blindness.

		Having said that, in my opinion, any band that can make great pop songs with synths and guitars both is a great band in my book, there aren't that many of them, and we're one of them..
		Bands that think that if they act better than you, that you'll think they are better than you.
		Bands need to support each other, make each other feel like what we're doing is worthwhile.

	Glitter Band : Listen to the Band - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Largely conceived during the months immediately surrounding Gary Glitter's "retirement," the third Glitter Band album is the sound of the group driving hard to escape their old paymaster's slipstream -- a desperation, of course, that would ultimately see them truncate their name and dump their wardrobes altogether.
		The problem, of course, was the same as that which afflicted almost every band to emerge from the glam movement, from Sweet and T.
		They built their names on the strength of one sound -- literally in the Glitter Band's case -- and then tried to take their audience with them into another.

		Mike, acknowledging that Gary Glitter was now firmly established in the charts, agreed that they should develop their own separate identity and booked a couple of days for recording at the now legendary “Mayfair” Studios.
		The Band then went off to pursue their own musical interests until they reunited with “The Leader” for what was to become, for all concerned, a massive resurgence in their careers which resulted in a series of sell-out concerts backing Gary until 1986.
		Gerry Shephard and Pete Phipps were the founder members of THE GLITTER BAND and they continue to thrill enthusiastic audiences around the world with their exciting “Glitter” sound that launched the “Glam Rock Era”.

	Gary Glitter
		The Glitter Band had the most original sound of an English band, and their stuff was played in clubs as well, cos people could dance to it.
		He was also a very good musician; he played everything on the Gary Glitter records apart from the brass - he played any keyboard, guitars and drums, there was only brass that might have been added from outside, but otherwise everything you heard on the original Gary Glitter records was Mike.
		He said, 'Well the band's based in Sheffield.' That was John Rossall's decision, cos he was the leader of the band at that time, and he wanted to live in Sheffield - who the fuck wants to live in Sheffield, I do not know.

		The Glitter Band's second album might indeed have borne one of the era's most cringe-worthy titles, and a sleeve that wasn't much better.
		And while the opening "For Always and Ever" rides a guitar and drum crunch that simply summarizes everything you've always thought the Glitter Band should sound like, the song itself has a mid-'60s feel that is as contagious as it is cute.
		An idiot chant that went out of its way to justify every criticism ever laid at the Glitter Band's door (repetitive, clichéd, and utterly moronic), the song remains a fl mark in the band's output and an unsightly stain on this album.
