Looking through this book is like stepping into a time machine that speeds one back into a music obsessed teenage boy’s bedroom in the early 1970’s. Not any teenage boy, mind you. Dave Twist’s collection of ‘Third Generation Rock and Roll’ memorabilia is second to none.
Bobby Gillespie – Primal Scream
Dave just had a better sense of what was good, what was worth investing the little cash we had in, and taking the time to listen and understand it… I have friends in LA, music freaks who follow Dave, love his curatorial voice… sometimes it’s almost like being there.
John Taylor – Duran Duran
Glitter & Glue presents an extensive and unique archive of rock ‘n’ roll ephemera, the core of which was assembled by Dave Twist during his teenage years: 1972 – 1979.
While chronicling his own fan-rampage – from the freak rock glamour of the early 70s through to punk – the collection also represents the journey that pretty much everyone involved in the early UK punk scene will have travelled, at least part of the way.
The first book to cover this extended time-frame with the full range of ephemera available – with some dedication – to the provincial teenage fan.
Over 200 colour layouts displaying magazines, fanzines, posters and flyers, badges, picture sleeve singles, rare long-players and rarer cassette tapes. All accompanied by detailed notes on each piece and the author’s personal recollections.
A second section of the book features artefacts and photography relating to his own adventures – alongside Duran Duran’s John Taylor in Shock Treatment and Dada, playing in Birmingham’s first punk band The Prefects, and with Stephen Duffy and The Jacobites’ Dave Kusworth in The Hawks.
Forewords by John Taylor (Duran Duran) and Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream)
