Description
Slade's 1970s Decades is a comprehensive look at one of Britain's most iconic rock bands. From their early days in the mid-1960s to the height of their success in the late 1970s, this book examines every album and single, as well as their raucous live shows and colourful media profile. The band's incredible run of six number one singles, four top-ten albums, and sell-out tours is detailed, alongside their struggles with dwindling record sales and a music press that had lost interest. The book culminates in the remarkable comeback at the 1980 Reading Festival, which cemented Slade's place in rock history. This book celebrates the music of Slade, exploring every aspect of their career during this pivotal decade.
