Slade were one of the biggest British bands of the 1970s. One of
the early pioneers of gl,am rock they enjoyed an incredible run of
six number one singles, four top-ten albums and a succession of
sell-out tours. However, after a failed attempt at an American
breakthrough in the mid-1970s, Slade returned to Britain and faced
dwindling record sales, smaller concert halls and a music press
that had lost interest in them. By the end of the decade, they were
playing residencies in cabaret clubs and recorded a cover of a
children's novelty song. But then came a last-minute invitation to
play the 1980 Reading Festival, setting into motion one of the most
remarkable comebacks in rock history. As we come to the fiftieth
anniversary of Slade's 1973 annus mirabilis that saw 'Cum On Feel
The Noize', 'Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me' and 'Merry Xmas Everybody' all
enter the UK charts at number one, this book celebrates the music
of Slade. From the band's beginnings in the mid-1960s through each
year of the decade that gave them their biggest successes, every
album and single is examined, as well as their raucous live shows
and colourful media profile.
'If you talk about the '70s, I was a hardworking artist. I did
nothing but tour - recording, touring, TV, you know. I had constant
jetlag. Constant black shadows under my eyes but, oh, what a ride!
What a wonderful ride. And I'm still doing it now.' Suzi Quatro
With a succession of hit singles, including eight UK top twenty
hits and two number ones, sell-out tours and six studio albums,
Suzi Quatro was an enduring presence throughout the 1970s, the
decade that saw her move away from being part of an all-girl band
in Detroit and relocate to England for a solo career that
challenged old stereotypes and helped redefine the image of the
female rock icon. Taking each year in turn this book takes a
detailed look at Suzi Quatro's career throughout the decade where
she enjoyed her greatest successes, including a comprehensive
overview of each album and single released during that period, her
touring schedule and her frequent media appearances, including that
famous guest role in Happy Days. As well as making extensive use of
press archives from the era, Suzi Quatro In The 1970s also includes
personal reflections from an exclusive interview with Suzi herself.
The Sweet's look, sound and attitude became an instantly
recognisable hallmark of the early 1970s glam rock era. But the
band did not start the 1970s as a glam band and certainly didn't
finish as one. This book charts the band's journey through the
decade that made them a household name, from their initial rise as
purveyors of manufactured, bubblegum pop to their metamorphosis
into harder-edged glam rock icons. The Sweet in the 1970s takes a
look at both their successes and their struggles in their quest to
be recognised as a more serious rock act in the latter part of the
decade, once the sparkle of glam and glitter had begun to pale. The
decade saw them score fifteen UK Top 40 singles, release seven
studio albums and tour several continents. Unlike many bands of the
era personnel changes were few. The Sweet begin the 1970s with the
arrival of new guitarist, Andy Scott, and end the decade with the
departure of frontman, Brian Connolly, and an ultimately ill-fated
attempt to continue as a three-piece. This book is an unashamed
celebration of the music of the Sweet and charts the lasting impact
they had on many of the bands than followed them.
This book is about one of my life experiences. This was a crucial
time in my life I was on parole. Parole; early freeing of prisoner
on condition he is of good behavior; word of honor. During the time
I spent on parole I was ready to transition back into society,
finding employment and finding a way to go on with my life; instead
I found myself fighting for my freedom monthly, weekly, and daily,
not truly being given the chance to show myself to be a redeemed
man. I had 13 parole officers in 3 years of parole, and they all
demanded different things from me, my parole stipulations meant
nothing to them, because they each had their own set of rules to
violate my constitutional rights.
