Clap Your Hands And Stamp Your Feet (The Return)

VARIOUS - GLAM & GLITTER Vol 2 (2025)

 
Five years later, this is a follow up to my first collection of 25 songs / bands from the last 30 years for some kind of a tribute to the 70's Glam and Glitter era. Some of you will hear some Bolan (plenty) / Slade / Sweet, Bowie or Glitter homages, and they will be right. Only original songs have been included. And, just for info, no hyper-hairsprayed acts are featured here, only some good old shoutin', stompin' anthems. 100% real Glam guaranteed.

A complete set of artwork has been included, it features all the bands and albums that can be found on this new volume.

US LP Edition (Never Reissued)

DUCKS DELUXE - DUCKS DELUXE (1974)

 
In 1973 the band signed to RCA and released their first single, "Coast To Coast", written by Sean Tyla and Nick Garvey, though Tyla is not credited on the track, because he was trying to untangle himself from a previous publishing deal. Their eponymous debut album Ducks Deluxe was released in early 1974, and "captures something of the fire and excitement that the Ducks' live act generated".
 
This is the US LP edition which omits "I Got You", has an edited version of "Daddy Put The Bomp" and presents a totally different track order.from the UK release.

Jon Savage's Trip (A Mojo Bonus Issue #43)

VARIOUS - THE 100 GREATEST PSYCHEDELIC CLASSICS (1997)

 
Two years after his C90 in September 1995 featured in the Issue #20, Jon Savage was back by public demand, and even more mind-expanding, Jon Savage takes a trip through psychedelia's golden years to compile the ultimate six-hour flashback. A 12-page feature of 100 songs divided in two parts: Psychedelia USA and Psychedelia UK.

All the 12 pages have been scanned and included in their original A4 format, a custom front artwork and back have been made. The audio has been re-built according to the notes written by Jon Savage. Probably the biggest volume ever posted on PPA (or even on PPC).
