Blood and Glitter is Mick Rock’s eyewitness account of the Glam Rock era, featuring iconic photographs of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Syd Barrett, Lou Reed, Queen, Freddie Mercury, Roxy Music, Blondie, The Ramones, and many more.

Rock’s images capture both the famous and the intimate moments behind the scenes, from rare studio sessions to live performances and candid street life. His work goes beyond mere portraiture, documenting the energy, style, and cultural turbulence of the 1970s glam and punk scenes. Highlights include the legendary 1972 portraits of Iggy Pop (used for Raw Power) and David Bowie (Space Oddity), as well as revealing sessions with Syd Barrett and Johnny Rotten.

This Japanese edition offers bilingual content (English & Japanese) and presents a comprehensive visual encyclopedia of Rock’s immersive career, blending the glamour of the stage with the bohemian lifestyles of New York and London. As Mick Rock himself states: “I was not an outsider looking in. I lived it.”
