Description
Electrified Hard Freakbeat UK '69 Classic
AMBROSE SLADE
\ UK - FONTANA - STL 5492
Scarce exact 2nd press vinyl on the UK Fontana label of the very first AMBROSE "SLADE" album ... tightly styled electrified freakbeak with an edge... One of the most successful British bands of the early '70s, Slade made it to the top of the charts after several years on the road. The band formed in 1966 in Wolverhapton as the In-Betweens. After taking on former Animals bassist Chas Chandler as their manager, they changed their name to Ambrose Slade, then shortened it to Slade.Around 1967 / 1968 the British band the In-Betweens had built quite a reputation in the Wolverhampton area. They had even played concerts on the continent (Germany and Spain).
With their new name Ambrose Slade, the band's first album (1969) presented strong slices of fuzz guitar led freakbeat, cool enough that Fontana label originals have fetched $200 - $300 for years ... the album delivers a constant blend of edgey hardrock highlighted by bent edges that invokes the freaky shake appeal...includes "Mad Dog Cole" "Roach Daddy" "Fly Me High" "Genesis" and other cool grooves...perhaps the best song is the riviting infectious "Knocking Nails Into My House" ... It's all the full Slade line up but in their freak/psych days
