What is Junkshop Glam? In this video, I dig into the forgotten side of UK glam rock and show some of my favourite obscure 7-inch singles from 1971–1974.

For every Bowie, T. Rex, Slade or Sweet, there were countless bands trying to make the next big glam hit. Most of them failed. Their singles disappeared, ended up in bargain bins and junk shops. And to be honest, a lot of them weren't that great. But hidden among the stomping drums, handclaps, fuzz guitars and questionable fashion choices are some absolutely brilliant records.
