COMMENTS: US original WHITE LABEL PROMO album.  The debut album from Slade, then called Ambrose Slade.  Orginally these four musicians were playing in local pubs as a more r&b act, then were spotted and signed to Fontana Records.  This album is made up of a special variey of cover songs such as Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild, Nugents Journey To the Center of the Mind, The Beatles Martha My Dear, Zappas Ain't Got No Heart, and others.  They added in a few originals and the seeds were planted for this band to become one of the largest selling UK singles band of the 70's!!!  A classic and hard to find as a white label promo!!!

FEATURED SONGS:

This is my 15th year of successfully selling records on eBay!!  I take extreme care in buying and selling ONLY vinyl that is NEAR MINT, or very close to it.  My goal is to keep the dream alive for the art of collecting and selling PROMOTIONAL albums, from the 60's and 70's in jazz and rock n' roll.  PROMO albums are usually 1st pressings, they get released prior to the stock copies, and are generally as close to the master tape as the listener can obtain. They are pressed in extremely limited quantities, many get trashed by radio stations, but collecting them in top quality has been my specialty for many years. I also sell some hard to find ORIGINAL stock US, UK and Canadian pressings LP's.  AND AS ALWAYS...ALL records are from MY OWN PERSONAL collection of over 50 years and....NO JUNK!!! 

ALL my vinyl is visually graded and then PLAY graded on a REGA P3 turntable, through a McINTOSH MA6300 Integrated Amplifier which pushes (4) original JBL Century 100 speakers!!!

I clean all my records with a PROFESSIONAL Nitty Gritty record cleaning machine and pack ALL records carefully!!   FIRST, the records are cleaned, then placed in the inner sleeve outside of the record cover and inserted into a clear plastic outer record sleeve. SECOND, albums are bubble wrapped for safety and mailed in a STRONG cardboard record mailer box!!
