Slade must be in the rock and roll hall of fame!
Great review Phil, I remember the fuss after the festival, Slade were magnificent on the day and the press were all over it! Nice colours on the discs by the way, Rock On!
Slade.. Slade was I think the first album I bought … on cassette…loved it at the time ..
I got a portable cassette recorder for Christmas one year .. used to tape top of the pops with it .. little microphone up close to the telly speaker..
Best days ever 😂.. apart from the power cuts 😂
I was a big rock fan in the 70`s and went to see many bands live but one of my biggest regrets was that I never saw Slade live. I had the original "Slayed Alive" album and I still regard it as one of the best live albums ever.
I discovered and bought both records by chance in the 70s ,this was rare in our country 😁
I hear you Phil when you said you start waneing at festivals! My first festival was Reading 1977 and missed SAHB as I'd been drinking all day and crashed & burned before they came on. I realised festivals where'nt for me and never went to another. Love Slade and did manage to see them in I think around 79 or 80.
Thanks for this review Phil it was excellent! Really pleased to see these reissues as it has been a little quiet on the Slade front and I was getting worried this series might be finished. Hoping for `Whatever Happened to Slade` and `Till Deaf Do Us Part` next!
Hello Jogi, good to hear that Slade were very famous in Germany. Sounds like you had a lot of fun listening to them! 👍Thank you for reply best wishes to you always🙂@@jogischulz2576
I have the u s release of BEGINNings released as BALLZY last year on transparent blue vinyl thanks for the reviews as i am a big big SLADE fan since the early 70ths I will be adding them to my collection
I just love your reviews they are well thought out and what the band meant to you all heartfelt amazing keep of the great reviews on this channel there is not another channel like yours out there Phil thanks a million huge slade fan here in New York City --- Anthony
Thank you for watching and your kind words - Phil
Even though I don't have a turntable (yet!), I think I am going to have to buy the Slade Alive At Reading vinyl just because that was one of my top five live gigs of all time - what a phenomenal set that was!
Wonderful! Slade was one of the first band I ever liked. I was introduced to them through the album "The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome" at the tender age of 10 in 1984.
Best review ever thanks mate!!!
NIce new vinyls! I have always had a soft spot for Slade. "Gudbuy t' Jane" was one of my early radio favourites, and they were the very first international rock act I saw - back in 1976 when they toured Canada. That was my first major concert experience....my ears rang for days afterward!
I've sat here with a smile on my face watching your review and then I just broke into a big grin when you talked about "that day at Reading Rock".
I don't know about you but me and my mates were expecting them to be canned off whilst not wanting to be part of the actual canning because we did know the singles, my mate's older brother had the Slade Alive LP that we occasionally played (though it wasn't a favourite back then) and there was a degree of respect for them, even though they weren't "heavy metal". But we definitely "expected the worst".
I remember just as they came on, roadies and backstage staff started throwing what seemed like hundreds of toilet roll streamers from behind the speaker stacks and suddenly the whole crowd went completely NUTS! And that was it, they had us COMPLETELY in the palms of their hands.
What a live event that was - and is in my top five live gigs of all time... on the right day, I might even say it's the greatest live set I ever seen in more than 60 years on this planet.
I'm still grinning now just thinking about it - even the look on your face says it all....
It was indeed an amazing day and Slade went from ‘who’s idea was this’ to ‘best band of the weekend’ within 60 seconds.
@@NowSpinningMagazineAbsolutely!
Slade best live band ever
slade were in my eyes, the best live band of the 70,s early 80,s with out doubt, in the UK, never got the credit they deserved its only now people are finding out how good they were live, sadly never to be repeated would have stole live aid
Hi Phil ,slade before slade, fantastic, nice cover , thanks for discovery 😊
That debut album has some really interesting covers! Zappa. Jeff Lynne's Idle Race. Two by Steppenwolf. "Everybody's Next One" is a massively underrated Steppenwolf album cut. I was so excited back when I found out that existed, being a big fan of both bands.
Wished they’d release the whole concert. A few songs were left off.
Great review Phil. I was at Reading that day and if Reading had a roof on it Slade would have blown it off. I have i have got the Slade live box set so I have now ordered the album which will a great addition as a stand alone. I remember Def Leppard was next on and if I remember rightly they were booed off. Top of the bill was the brilliant Whitesnake. Happy days.
Fabulous memories indeed - thank you for watching - Phil
Thanks Phil !👍🎧🎶😁
Not out until 15th September but have all the other Slade splatter vinyl, great review well done😊
Thank you 🙏
Great review as always Phil. I vaguely recall that Tommy Vance played some of the Reading Festival stuff on the Friday Rock Show?.....
Yes he definitely played some of the Reading Festival stuff because I taped the Budgie set🥰. Can't remember what else was aired though🤔
Have pre-ordered the Beginnings album. Got all of the reissues on vinyl. A must have for a Slade fan
The first gig I ever attended was the first Monsters Of Rock at Castle Donnington in 1980. The second gig was Reading Festival later that year. I can still remember so much of it. Unlike Donnington, the weather was beautiful, and it was great sitting in the sun eating pizza drinking lager and watching the bands lower down the bill, until the bigger bands came on at around 5pm and it was time to head down to the front. Several performances stick in my mind. Rory Gallagher (cos he seemed to play forever and I hated every minute of it [sorry Rory fans 🙉]), Iron Maiden (who were fantastic🤘), Budgie (who were also fantastic🤘), Def Leppard (who were pretty good but got all kinds of objects hurled at them), and Slade (who as you rightly say Phil, went down a storm). They played loads of their hits, including Merry Xmas Everybody, plus a couple of newer songs which were really good, and were great fun. On the back of that performance I bought their next few albums, We'll Bring The House Down, Till Deaf Do Us Part, and The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome. Were you at Donnington too Phil?
Thank you, great comment. I certainly was at Castle Donnington ! Phil :)
@@NowSpinningMagazine what are your abiding menories from the day at Monsters of Rock Phil? Or is that a topic for another day?🤔
@@terrywalker8446 Yes, this will be for another day - thank you for the idea! Phil
I bought the RSD 2022 American version of Beginnings, they called it 'Ballzy'. So unless i can pick one up really cheap i won't bother with it, i'll definitely be getting the Live At Reading album though. I was there too. 🙂 They did the same thing at Donington the next year as well. The roadies should NOT have thrown all those toilet rolls in to the crowd... started one of the biggest bottle fights i have ever seen at that festival.
😃👍
