Summary: Ultra-Glam
Comment: This is a truly- well, faaaaaabulous book. Mick Rock's excellent photography captures glam rock and its' artists at their top prime. The fact that Mick Rock knew many of his subjects personally helped with the many candid behind the scenes shot that fills this book. From David Bowie and Lou Reed to Mick Jagger, Blondie, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and even the Ramones and Johnny Rotten, this book has incredible photography of music's most incredible stars. My personal favorites are the pictures of Lou Reed, and the David Bowie pictures are wild and ample throughout the whole book. The layout of the book is also great, with many quotes from the shown artists and Mick Rock commenting on...well, everything, and many of the quotes are set to vibrant colored backgrounds. The reason why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 was that there were just too many people I had never heard of. It would have been better if there had been just even small explanations- I mean, there are on some of them, but I have no idea who "Leather Nun" was or many of the people in some of these party shots. But hey, that's okay. For people with the some of the best taste in music, I recommend this book.

Summary: you better buy two...
Comment: Look, this book is absolutely fantastic. Five stars at least for the material.
However, the binding of the book is so poor that it falls off the spine after 2 viewings. Inexcusable!

Summary: Aleister Crowley meets Goethe at the drag races
Comment: Looking at the pages of this explosive book, one feels as if they are taking a glimpse into an alternative universe and in many ways you are. Mick Rock was the supreme chronicler of the fantasy world of Glam. His images and Bowie's quotes are juxtaposed and further mythologize this highly original period. David Bowie states that he would be going to hell because he sold his soul to the devil. The book is arranged chronologically and ends with images of the Punk Rockers. Compared to the fey and sexually charged Eno, Amanda, Lou and Freddie they look so sober and serious. Debbie Harry being the sole exception, of course. Viva la Glam !
