Tracklisting - Hear Me Calling/Look Wot You Dun/Darling Be Home Soon/Coz I Luv You/Get Down With It/Born To Be Wild.

Been a Slade fan for half my life. Don't like their later output, love everything from "Play it loud" to "Slayed"

On review, this line

Hear Me Calling/Look Wot You Dun/Darling Be Home Soon/Coz I Luv You/Get Down With It/Born To Be Wild

Does it occur to anyone else that those are some abuser's lines?

Janis did that tune too

From Play it Loud, their second album, & imho their best
but that's just me, soon after they changed their style/image from mods to glam rockers

I saw them at an all nighter club in london in 1971, a place called the temple it was a of hippie dive. They were given strange looks when they came on stage but soon got the crowd on their side with a version of "Knights in white satin" complete with an electric violin solo

WOW good find it never occurred to me to see if they had done it before, I always assumed it was a one off that night to get the hippies on board

When they done the song at the Temple obviously there was no orchestra, just the four of them. The violin solo I think was the bass player. It was mad, lots of feedback, it certainly got us hippies on board. Up untill then Slade were viewed as a skin head band. Soon after they became very big with all those singles.
