SLADE – LIVE AT THE NEW VICTORIA / TILL DEAF DO US PART (Reissues) (BMG)
Till Deaf Do Us Part takes very few prisoners. Anyone looking for examples of them stretching away from the basic hard rock fare with the balladic likes of How Does It Feel, Pouk Hill, Far Far Away or One Way Hotel would find very slim pickings among the dozen tracks on this splendid brute... It's..
SLADE – BEGINNINGS / ALIVE! AT READING (Reissues) (BMG)
Alive! At Reading is a gift for the vinyl aficionado. It has all the ten tracks that the CD does, nice big artwork and a really rather splendid orange and black splatter disc, and is a very nice thing. However you choose to consume them though, Beginnings is a fascinating set for the curious while..
SLADE – Nobody’s Fools / The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome (Reissues) (BMG)
All in all, two albums slightly outside of the more usual Slade 'box', and ones which can get forgotten against some of the bigger and more iconic albums, both of these can hold their heads up proudly against almost anything else that the band did. The Slade reissue campaign continues - in this case with..

SLADE – Compilation Coloured Vinyl Reissues (BMG)
To anyone who wasn't there at the time (or wasn't in the right age group), it is hard to describe just what a big, and thrilling, deal the Sladest compilation was when it appeared in 1973. The Slade coloured/patterned vinyl reissue series takes a turn into compilation territory, with the release of the seminal Sladest,..
SLADE – All The World Is A Stage (BMG)
It is practically possible to feel the (Reading Festival) crowd's own realisation that, hey, these guys aren't just an over the hill glam rock outfit, they are the real deal - hard, heavy, in your face, and so working class and 'laddish' that they make Liam Gallagher sound like the love child of Bryan Ferry..

SLADE – Coloured Vinyl Reissues (BMG)
The 'Slayed?' album looked and sounded as if it was going to bully your other records as soon as you left the room, and this edition, with its replication of the original sleeve, looks like it will do it again. If you have the original vinyl as well, and store both together, they might do..
