About
Slade, British glam rock pioneers from the West Midlands since 1966.
Slade emerged from the West Midlands region, initially performing as The N'Betweens before adopting the name Ambrose Slade and ultimately Slade. Transitioning from R&B and folk roots to glam rock in the early 1970s, they secured a distinctive identity with deliberately misspelled song titles characteristic of their Black Country origins. Their music bridges hard rock and pop, producing chart-topping hits concentrated mainly between 1971 and 1976. Despite waning popularity in the mid-70s, Slade experienced a resurgence in the 1980s, recording live albums and singles charting internationally.
Their vinyl catalog spans 16 releases, including studio albums, live recordings, and compilations with notable pressings on labels like Polydor, RCA, and BMG.
