SLADE News

The Slade wires have been buzzing today with the glorious news about re-mastered albums. The latest from Crazeeworld (link opposite) is:

Union Square Music's new Salvo label are re-releasing the entire Slade catalogue, starting in late August with the first four releases, and continuing at various intervals until next summer. The music has been remastered to great effect and the packages will include new sleeve notes and many previously unseen photos.

The first four will be: Beginnings / Play It Loud (2 albums on 1 CD), Slayed?, Old New Borrowed And Blue and Slade Alive! (A 2CD live anthology which includes Slade Alive!, Slade Alive Vol Two., Slade On Stage and Alive At Reading '80).

The re-mastered albums will contain bonus tracks. A b-sides collection, a box set and re-vamped Flame DVD are also reportedly in the pipeline.

I was listening to 'Old, New, Borrowed and Blue' last night and there are some killer rock tracks on that album as well as the more well-known singles.
