Below are couple of quotes from reviews from the Amazon page

1 Feb. 2015 By Mrs Jean Dornan
Great song from a great man the one and only GG


1 Feb. 2015 Gillian Thumwood
Fab song by a wonderful entertainer! We're all behind you Gary!


Are these people right in the head?

Garry's music is still popular in the States, he earns hundreds of thousands in royalties each year. Sports events still use it, particularly Ice hockey games. Most Americans haven't a clue who he is, they just like the tunes.

He sold all his royalty rights a while ago

I can see it now, when Xmas comes the anti-X Factor campaigners using Glitter songs to prevent Simon getting the no1, the thought of Glitter getting it and being played on R1 :O

Assuming you're referring to Michael Jackson, bit of a difference, given with the first allegations Jordy Chandler supposedly later admitted he was lying and was legally emancipated from his parents, his dad who supposedly coached him on what to say later killing himself. With the second round of allegations he was found innocent on all counts.

Worth a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Chandler

Glitter was not.

This may be true, but he was still "Wacko."

No he wasn't...he was found not guilty...not the same as innocent. Though he did love to sleep with strangers children.

Remind you of anyone?

And being weird means you deserve to go down in history as a nonce?

He's dead. It hardly matters what he goes down as, it can't hurt him. People will think what they like about him, neither you nor I can make any difference..

Why shouldn't his music still be popular or purchased?

I'm not condoning what he did, far from it, but that shouldn't mean he is air-brushed from history and that goes for anyone else who does similar.

After all you can still buy all of the Lost Prophets albums on Amazon as well.

No he didn't, unless you have any proof.

While we're on the subject, Glitter hasn't ever been convicted of f*cking a kid either.

That's a good enough reason for me to buy it.

Exactly spot on. I wish people would look into this a bit deeper... As for Glitter, I can't believe his sales have gone up radically even with his Court Case. Shocked! Used to love his 'Rock n Roll Christmas'...he's killed a bit of the holiday season for me. That's a crime too!

What is spot on is that MJ slept with kids...fact! and that is just not right regardless if anything sexual took place or not, and there is no justification for it whatsoever.

I agree, it's not right. But it's a massive step removed from saying he f*cked kids.
