Slade - Slade At The BBC (1969-1991) (2012)

Slade At The BBC (1969-1991) collection of archive recordings from the British Glam/Rock band. This dvd is a release that Slade fans have long dreamt of - a fantastic document of the period during which they transformed themselves from a potent live attraction with a burgeoning song craft of their own into the UK's favourite hit-making machine.

Originally formed in 1966 as The N`Betweens, by 1968 the band had changed their name to AMBROSE SLADE and signed to Fontana Records. The following year the quartet (Dave Hill - guitar, vocals; Neville `Noddy` Holder - lead vocals, guitar; Jim Lea - bass, keyboards, violin, vocals; Don Powell - drums) hooked up with Chas Chandler, former bass player with The Animals and ex manager and producer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience. At Chandler`s suggestion, the group abbreviated their name and began honing their sound, style and image.

In 1971, after a brief spell as a "skinhead" band, Slade began to hit their stride, scoring their first UK top twenty hit with `Get Down And Get With It`, and ending the year on a high note with `Coz I Luv You`, their first number one.

1972 was a fabulous year for the group, with the release of the `Slade Alive` and `Slayed?` albums bookending the year, four top five singles sandwiched between them (`Take Me Bak `Ome` and `Mama Weer All Crazee Now` both reached number one).

Slade had still not peaked, and 1973 bore witness to the band entering the singles chart at number one on three separate occasions, `Cum On Feel The Noize`, `Skweeze Me Pleeze Me` and `Merry Xmas Everybody` all ascending to the pinnacle. The band`s first compilation album `Sladest` was also issued to huge commercial success, and a sellout tour culminated in a triumphant performance at London`s Earls Court in front of 17,000 delirious fans.
