An Early Clue to the New Direction
From 1972, here's Gary Glitter and band miming to their charming ode to child pornography glam classic "Rock n Roll Part 2." You'll note that it takes two drummers to simulate the part played on the actual recording by producer/writer Mike Leander.
A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to Friday's Weekend Listomania.
