Slade were my first ‘favourite’ band growing up. I was one album behind you, my first was Slayed in 1972 when I was 12. Money saved from doing two paper rounds!
One album and 2 years! I was 14 in 1972.
I am sure I actually bought Play It Loud in January 1972 as we (siblings) had received a record player for Christmas 1971 from my Grandfather.
 
This isn’t at all like what you might expect. It’s edgy

Fear this thread could be too quiet...😉

Is this new record necessary? Likely not.
But it is Roger Waters!

My Vinyl copy has arrived today. I shall play it later and give my verdict. I shall try to be objective.
Mine too. But it is already on the way back. Too uneven, hate that.
RW was always there in my listening life. And he was a hero as musician for me. So I am definitively not able to be objective 😉
Although in the last years I very often was irritated by much of his speeches. Man and musician is sometimes hard to like both...
I would judge this album as kind of (too) easy listening. Quite sure the vinyl will not change that impression. But to be complete...IMG_1698.jpeg

My wife answered the door to the postman and I received some verbal abuse concerning the purchase after she closed the door. "Haven't you got this already?" she said. I tried to explain but realised her ears were deaf. Thank god there are places like this where people understand .....
