LIVE AT THE BBC (CD 1)

LIVE AT THE PARIS THEATRE, LONDON (CD 2)

This CD consists of 20 tracks recorded live at BBC Radio between 1969 and 1972, back in those times it was hard to get radio play

even though Slade were a big name playing live gigs, the BBC was a very good way of getting across to the live radio listeners.

This CD contains some of Slade's excellent very early compositions, plus cover versions from some great song writers such as

Justin Haywood, John Sebastian, Janis Joplin, Lennon/McCartney to name just a few.

This fantastic collection of rare and largely unissued material not only shows the excellent "studio Slade", but also the pre-fame

Slade: a tight, hard-hitting combo doing a range of soul, psychedelic, pop and rock covers, while making tentative and highly

successful steps into writing their own material.

As a bonus to this CD, 4 Radio 1 Jingles have been included

Overall "Live At The BBC" is super fast, super loud rock that leaves you with your hair standing on end and definitely something to

consider buying if you ever had a leaning toward Noddy & Co.

If not It could well convert you.

Playing Time : 64.30

This is a live concert recorded at the Paris Studios in August 1972 for Radio 1's In Concert series.

In the past this was only available as a bootleg but a little poor in quality, this is nothing like that.

This live concert has crystal clear sound, and Jim Leas' bass guitaring sound is excellent...

This was a Slade part two special, 1st part being a hour long documentary (Six Days On The Road)

This is Slade Slade in all their rollicking glory, tearing up the stage with a mixture of singles & covers.

Including Janis Joplin’s ‘Move Over’, 'Good Golly Miss Molly', 'In Like A Shot (From My Gun)'

Plus 'Coz I Luv You', 'Take Me Bak 'Ome', 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' which all reached number 1

in the British charts. The gig wasn’t without its problems older audience members, “the Jimmy Young

crowd, who came in from shopping,” as Jim Lea remembers, had a hard time dealing with the ear

shattering volume, there were also problems with some of their equipment at times.

All in all you get 36 re - mastered tracks of studio sessions, radio jingles and a live show

all previously unreleased documenting the period 1969 to 1972.

Slade 'Live at the BBC' comes with a stylish 24-page booklet, what more could you ask for under £10

The whole set will blow your socks off.
