Ever heard of Nederglam? What about early 70s Dutch Glam Rocks stompers & crunchers by acts like Booby Trap, The Heavy Dwarfs, Dump, Zingara, Pantherman or Plastic Feet, huh? If your haven't ... boy, you have missed out on some KILLER boot stomping material from the old days! Among somewhat better known acts like Bonnie St Claire And Unit Gloria, Left Side, Cherrie Vangelder-Smith, Catapult and Lemming, you will discover a multitude of Glam era obscurities here that will blow your socks off and open your mind to some great sounds and beats. With The Netherlands being the main country in continmental Europe to boast a Glam Rock scene, a compilation of this stuff was way overdue. Yep, now for the first time in history all these great records have been brought together on one unique cd. Not that many of these tunes received any form of national or international recognition... In fact most of the songs on this cd remained completely unnoticed when they were initialy released. But now, some 35 years later, it'll strike you that this stuff is still so goddamn fresh., it literary SCREAMS to finally get heard!! So what do we have here? A cd with 24 songs by 23 acts, plus 52 page full colour booklet crammed with cool pics, plus the incredible stories behind all bands and songs! Also included are reprints of all original sleeves, whether Dutch or foreign. In other words: it's time to clap your hands and stamp your feet (clogg-ed or boot-ed) to the great stomping rhythms of these Nederglam crunchers. Enjoy!
