Yesterday,I heard "Ballroom Blitz"by the Sweet and it got me thinking about later days of the Movement(`72/`73).We have all said,the Originals,that we got into T Rex and other Glam Rock Groups-alongside Rock Groups.But how long did that actual last for.Myself,I would put it to about 6 months.I was again getting back into Soul and Funk with Jazz mixed in.Reggae was still dominated by "Roots" so absolutely no liking there.
I soon got rather tired of it. My girlfriend(s) and I went to see concerts by such diverse acts as The Carpenters at one end and Pink Floyd at the other, meanwhile I was listening to John Peel and Charlie Gillett on the radio and therefore to more difficult and obscure stuff. I think by the mid seventies I had re-kindled a love for jazz and folk music, and by the end of the seventies I was enjoying punk and dub. I don't know how typical this was - I suspect not very - nor how relevant it really is.
