not really on theme as this not a glam failure cannily / desperately reinventing themselves, but a New Wave / punk revision of glam (a whole other area with quite a lot to choose from)
Roxy / Ferry of course themselves reinvented themselves as sort of New Wave / sort of disco. I remember being really struck by this song at the time (1978) catching it by chance on TV - a kid's show too I think - but only having a very faint sense of who he or Roxy were.
Whereas this solo single, from only a year or so before - released early 1977 I think - could not be more pre-punk unless it was actually an episode from the first series of Rock Follies.
Love the girl on keyboards with the frizzed red cloud of hair. Background in mime?
"This Is Tomorrow" - what an inappropriate title.
