Best known as Gary Glitter’s backup band, were amongst only a handful of backing bands to achieve independent chart success. They were formed from the ashes of the Boston Showband to play on Glitter’s hit singles between 1972 and 1973 and were originally called the Glittermen before changing their name to The Glitter Band in 1973. Shortly after it was suggested by John Rossall (Trombone and Musical Director) that they should record material without Glitter. This collection brings together their entire catalogue of single releases along with the accompanying B-sides all in chronological order across the first two CDs the second of which also contains rare tracks from the 80’s. On top of this on disc three you get the bands only concert release Live at The Marquee from 1986.
