Old, New, Borrowed & Blue

Original had torn cover but replacement was ok and came quickly

all tracks are great

Good tunes and great vinyl!

This seems one of those albums that was made from all the bits and pieces that they could find laying around at the time. Some really good songs but the album doesnt flow like some of the other albums. Also the remastering didn't seem as good on this album and why did they put the 'melody maker' talking thing on it - thats as bad as putting Xmas songs on albums. Good but not a classic.

Great

Up until the release of this album, Slade could possibly be described as a one-dimensional rock band, mostly focused on producing foot stomping rockers. Like another reviewer here I was 14 years old when this album was released, and a big Slade fan at the time, but fortunately I did not experience any disappointment. This release saw new avenues explored, although this move was unpopular with many Slade fans, this was a brave change of direction for the band, even so, the "old" Slade is well represented here, with tracks such as "My Town" and "We're really gonna raise the roof". The track "When the lights are out" has a little bit of a Beatles feel to it, with Noddy Holder stepping aside from lead vocals to allow Jimmy Lea to take centre stage, his voice adds a new dimension to the bands sound. "How can it be" is a foot-tapping country music inflected song, the famous ballad "Everyday" was also another pleasant surprise, showing an emotional, tender side to the band. "Find yourself a rainbow" and "My friend stan" must have felt like a brave step to take at the time. This was an interesting change of direction from Slade, a change that continued to be explored on the album "Flame". 3 of the 5 bonus tracks include the unusual "Kill em at the hot club tonite" and the hit single "The Bangin man" and its flipside "She did it to me" - my favourite Slade track. This is an excellent album. A wise buy.

I always liked Slade first time round but never bought any of their records so this is a bit of a new discovery for me. Splatter vinyl is really nice. I bought Flame a while ago, in yellow and red splatter and that contains some interesting, even experimental, material. Good band.

The music is typical Slade. Steady and reliable. You know what you are going to get from them and this delivers.The splatter vinyl plays well with a good sound and no flaws (skips, crackle , warpping).Very happy with the purchase!

This is Slade at their finest, it's got everything and no one does "music hall" like Slade. This is essential for glam collectors, it made me feel like a teenager again! Noddy Holder is just too fun!

Uno de los mejores trabajos de esta estupenda banda. En el top 5 de su discografía.

Habe ich damals noch auf Vinyl mit Klappcoverbesessen. Ist aber in den Jahrzehnten abhanden gekommen. Habe aber das Auf-und Ab der Band die ganze Zeit verfolgt. Heute sind Slade für mich eine grandiose Band gewesen, siehe das erste Live- Album. Sie machten damals eine Art Prollrock was ich aber nicht negativ meine. Mit der Power und dem Elan waren sie einzigartig.Old, New, Borrowed and Blue überrascht mit verschiedenen Stilwechseln und zeigt das Können der Jungs. Nur nicht das Altbewährte noch auswalzen. Aber nicht alle alten Fans fanden das so gut. Für mich aber ein Topalbum

Świetne wydanie ,choć remastering pozostawia wiele do życzenia.

Ottimo il prezzo del cd arrivato regolarmente, unico neo il corriere ha suonato il campanello ed ha buttato il pacchetto davanti il cancello del residence, per fortuna che sono andata a controllare chi aveva suonato perchè non si era fatto vedere sul videocitofono.
