This book remains the ONLY photographic record of Slade playing live and every self-respecting fan will want a copy.

I have restored and have enhanced every photo in this book quite carefully for this edition. There are still some heads in photos and hands in the air (one with a plaster cast… what was going on there? - Read on and find out). Some are a bit in the way, but that was a Slade gig for you…. You don’t get lots of hands in the air at gigs nowadays. A bit sad, really…

That is because YOU LOT wouldn’t behave at shows. You (ok, We) all went a bit mad for that hour and a bit. I am not going to apologise for you lot creating the atmosphere you did at the many gigs I went to – and some blur in some photos. The band also had a frustrating tendency to move about, too, most un-obliging of them, but never mind…

Not all of the photos are perfectly in focus, because of all that movement and because of rapidly-changing stage lighting levels. They would not behave. But I did my best - and here’s the result.

I’ve had people contact me to tell me that they are in certain photos, which is great. I have removed some heads from shots. Sorry if I have decapitated you! The shows in these photos meant a lot to a few people, who saw them on the net, when I had them up. I hope that you like them too.
