SLADE - Old New Borrowed And Blue LP
Limited edition splatter vinyl.
It's hard to believe four guys as homely as Slade made such a beautiful noise, but the band was on some sort of roll in England when this was originally released. Like The Jam and, to a certain degree Oasis, the band never really seemed to catch on in the States like it did across the pond.
Entitled 'Stomp Your Hands Clap Your Feet' when released stateside, it's the perfect companion to the hits collection 'Sladest'. From top to bottom, this has to be their "masterpiece" (if you can use that term to describe a band only concerned with having a good time), and it contains three of their best (and largely unknown) songs in "Do We Still Do It", "When The Lights Are Out", and "How Can It Be".
Full of the goodtime, foot stompin' dependable boogie we've come to expect from Noddy Holder and Co. and the last great album they released before once again making a big push to be noticed in the U.S. in the late 1980's.
