| abstract | - Peel was not a fan of Gary Glitter's music in the 70's, when he described the artist in an article on the Listener published on 7th June 1973: [1] "I'm ready to bet in a few shillings that Yes and ELP will have vanished from the memory of all but the most stubborn and that the Gary Glitters and Sweets of no lasting value will be regarded as representing the true sound of the 1970s." In the mid-70's, Peel played an early Glitter track called 'All Grown Up' from the 60's, when Gary was using the pseudonym of Paul Raven. During the 80's, Glitter's 'Hello Hello I'm Back Again' was played on Peel's show and the Undertones did a cover of his song Rock 'n' Roll as part of JP's session: John later commented on this. "I was thinking you know as that was playing how interesting it is that the little snobberies that one is guilty of, however hard you try not to be, I would never have played the original of that, by Gary Glitter, because it would have been dead uncool, but it's alright to play it by the Undertones....Odd that, really. I should be ashamed of meself." [2] Peel also saw Gary Glitter perform in 1986, when he was the support act to Wham!. Peel took his daughter Alexandra to that event, as she was a fan of Wham! at that time. After Peel's death, the band Trouserdog's Apocalypse For Gary Glitter made no. 28 in the 2007 Festive Fifty.

The 80s" in 1991, later covered by Calvin Harris in 2006. He managed to wade through a resurgence of interest in the mid-'90s amongst the student fraternity who, when not guffawing at Supermarket Sweep and mock-quoting Jim Bowen catch-phrases from Bullseye, 'ironically' bestowed appreciation and affection on the lovable, playful kiddie-fiddler. Neither his 1973 album 'Touch Me' or his 1984 disc 'Boys Will Be Boys' attracted much critical attention at the time, but in later years left millions wondering how, with albums titled like this, nobody spotted this mincing child-hungry pervert 20 years earlier. In the late '90s, Glitter was linked to the Pampers Corporation for a series of advertising campaigns, stressing the importance of extra padding when protecting your child from the likely intrusions of such failed Glam Rock disasters. In 2007, Gary Glitter telephoned R. Kelly, Matthew Kelly and Pete Townsend to try and put a band together called "Child's Play". However, Glitter's calls were never returned.
