Iron Virgin's Glam Rock Guitarist's 70's Platform Boots

Les plateform boots de Gordon Nicol d'Iron Virgin vendues aux enchères en décembre:


These are the boots worn by Iron Virgin's Glam Rock guitarist Gordon Nicol. He's on the far left in the group shot crossing Edinburgh's Princes Street.

The boots are still in decent shape after being retired to closet use for 30 years. At one time they had obviously been cleaned with a polish that left a whitish residue, something that can probably be cleaned up quite easily by a knowledgeable shoe repair person. They have 4 1/2 inch heels, 2 inch soles and from sole to the top is 19 3/4 inches. From the toe to the heel (inside the boot) is 9 3/4." Made of very supple leather by a store called Bumble which was in Edinburgh.

And, if you like, Gordon will even autograph the boots (inside) and/or write a note saying that they were his and sign it. But you must ask for this.

Shoe size 8.5 - 9 (US)

Have a verrry Glam New Year !

Iron Virgin "definitive antholgy" - 1974

Rave Up Records vient de nous rééditer la total du groupe ecossais en vinyl...les 2 45t + 2 bonus dont "teenage love affair" que je connais aussi par Rick Derringer (qui est le premier ?)

Iron Virgin was a 70's glam proto punk band who were formed in Edinburgh, Scotland. Back in 1973, Decca assigned their best producer, Nick Tauber, who produced Thin Lizzy (The Boys Are Back in Town) and many others...to scour Scotland for a new band for the Deram (Decca) label. He came to a small town in Scotland to listen to the band and, at the end of the show, he said that this wa the best live band he’d seen since The Move! So the band went down to London to record some demos in West Hampstead studio. Consequently, the band was signed to Decca Records, that released their great two singles, both ‘classics’ for ‘70’s UK r’n’r glam fans. This definitive antholgy, wich contains also unreleased tracks, is the definitive tribute to one of the best bands of that decade!!!

Le plus connu des groupes inconnus... deux belles pochettes, plus le hit pour vous rafraichir la mémoire.
