[Albion] Slade in Flame

[PascalGroß Tips]

I'm a big fan. Slade Alive was the first album I owned and Jim Lea has been a massive influence on my playing over the years. I saw them at Reading in 1980 when they replaced Ozzy Osbourne and blew the place away. I saw the film at The Regent Cinema in London not long before COVID when Dave Hill did a q&a afterwards. Holders voice at his prime was superb and together with Lea they were masters of the three minutes hit song. Looking forward to the BluRay release (and trying to find my BluRay player!)

November 2017 … never too early for Merry Christmas Everybody

Second album I bought was Slade Alive. Surprisingly there’s some great blues amongst the traditional Slade rocking.

Was my first album. Didn't sound great on my cheap Fidelity record player, but some rocking tunes.

Just been to see Slade in Flame for the second time. The first was as a 16 year old mega Slade fan in 1975 when it first came out and just View attachment 201232now as it’s been rereleased by the BFI for its 50th anniversary.
Great clips of 1970s Brighton and a real piece of pop music history.
Any other mirror top hatted old Slade fans here?

Keep an eye out for the old boy, one of his rare acting credits as a child star.
