Second Slade single re-up. More details below. Catch it here.
When you look at Slade's look in the beginning of 1970, you could believe a skin or an oi band from 1977. Now managed by Chas Chandler, they are in their skinheads period and release this Mann/Weil song from the Wild in the Streets motion picture. It was not a hit (in March 1970) but they had a TV exposure on Top of the Pops. The version is rather good, quite Cream inclined. The B-side is totally under the Beatles influence with its "Paperback Writer" riff, and once again, it's rather good although it seemed unlikely that the band may make long lasted impression with a so 60's music. Enjoy this piece of history.
