Junkshop glam (less commonly referred to asjunk shop glam) is a nuancedmusic genre term coined in the early 2000s by formerBuzzcocks bassist,Tony Barber, andLush bassist,Phil King.[2] Junkshop glam describes the nearly forgottenvinyl records of 1970s glam rock bands whose unsuccessful records had limited release, virtually no airplay, and have thus been relegated to the cheap record bins and often overlooked record stacks found in junk shops,charity shops,thrift stores, and the like. With the resurging interest in vinyl records, such obscure glam rock records can command high prices among avidrecord collectors and even band members themselves looking to fill missing releases in their owndiscographies.[3][4]
