The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome

Description

Slade was unstoppable throughout the 1970s, becoming one of Europe's biggest bands, releasing 6 hit albums, including three number ones in the UK, a run of 17 consecutive Top 20 singles, and their hits that are synonymous with the glam era. First released in 1983, the album 'The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome' allows the band to perform a series of hits such as "Run Runaway", "My Oh My" and "Ready To Explode". Digitally remastered and expanded edition of Slade's 1983 album featuring six bonus tracks, including remixes and non-album B-sides. After Slade's legendary performance at the 1980 Reading Festival, the band's career was back on solid ground in terms of media interest, sold-out shows, and a major contract with RCA. All they needed then was a hit single and "Noddy Holder" and "Jim Lea" duly provided a pair; the huge ballad "My Oh My" and the Celtic-flavored rock jig, "Run Runaway". Between the two singles, in December 1983, the album 'The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome' was released. It was an impressive demonstration of pumped-up, high-tech Rock-Pop and was a huge success across Europe, particularly in Scandinavia. When it was repackaged and renamed 'Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply', the album also charted in the Top 40 in the United States, setting Slade up for a new assault on the American market.
