OK I know how many Slade fans this forum has. I was one myself once upon a distant past.
As a teenager I was the proud owner of Slayed, Slade Alive, Nobodys fools and Sladest.
All on LP of course.
Over the course of time it got harder to take the time to listen to my old LP's.
Recently I picked up a handful of Slade albums on CD including:
Slayed

Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

Nobodys fools

and
Slade Alive

I cant seem to find myself a copy of Slade in Flame at a reasonable price (the ones I've seen have been 3 or 4 times what the other albums cost)
I have been bashing the hell out of these albums in my car for the last week and have found that I now hear them quite differently to how I remember them.
Man how good was/is Jim Lea? Great note selection, feel and sound.
