Broken Glass

There are at least two artists with this name: 1) In the early Seventies with the British Blues scene a little stale, Stan Webb took time out from his band Chicken Shack to form a brilliant band entitled Broken Glass featuring such great players as Miller Anderson, Robbie Blunt, Mac Poole and Rob Rawlinson. The three pronged guitar attack of Webb, Anderson and Blunt soon had venues rocking and EMI put the money up for the band's debut album.

The album hit the streets to great reviews and Broken Glass seemed on their way to fame and fortune. The quality of the Webb, Anderson, Bunt compositions was exceptional but as often beset bands in the Seventies, problems with management ensued and the project collapsed.

2) Originally a breakdance crew, two of its members, Kermit and Fiddz, hooked up with Manchester radio DJ Greg Wilson and his musician friends Martin Jackson (Magazine) and Andy Connell (A Certain Ratio) to record an electro track 'Style of the Street'.

Morgan Khan, owner of the Street Sounds compilation label, was impressed by their work and persuaded them to put together more tracks for a UK Electro compilation.

To give the impression of a thriving hip-hop scene in the UK, Morgan then proceeded to invent bogus artist and writer credits to use on this compilation. The resulting album is all the work of this group apart from one track by The Rapologists
