Slade the Skinhead Years

Slade are probably best known for their Xmas hit, "Merry Xmas Everybody" and for being part of the glam rock phalanx of the early 70s, but it wasn&always so. When the band kicked off in the late 60s they had a leaner, meaner, almost skinhead look and a more stripped down robust sound. Obviously this was ideal for playing the rough, tough working class venues where they started their career.
