When Slade Rocked the World 1971-75 / super deluxe box set

Salvo Music are to collaborate with direct-to-fan music platform PledgeMusic once again on When Slade Rocked The World 1971-1975, a new luxury Slade box set that will celebrate the English rock band’s phenomenally successful run of singles and albums in the first half of the 1970s.

Salvo first worked with PledgeMusic in 2014 on the highly successful Frankie Goes To Hollywood Inside The Pleasuredome set, which sold out and is already commanding high prices on the used market. Like that box, When Slade Rocked The World will be a multi-format collection, taking in vinyl albums, CDs, seven-inch singles, books and other items of memorabilia.

The box will contain the following:

• • Four vinyl LPs (Slade Alive!, Slayed?, Old New Borrowed and Blue and Slade In Flame) reproduced in original sleeves, remastered and pressed on 180g coloured vinyl
• • Four double sided picture sleeve singles covering the key hits of the period not on the albums –
  • Coz I Love You / Look Wot You Dun
  • Take Me Bak ‘Ome / Cum On Feel The Noize
  • Skweeze Me Pleeze Me / Merry Xmas Everybody
  • The Bangin’ Man / Thanks For The Memory
• • Flexidisc Slade Talk to ‘19’ Readers
• • Two-CD collection of the audio on the four vinyl LPs
• • • Ten-inch annual style hardback book featuring reviews, features and memorabilia from each of the key years along with an introduction by Mark Ellen
• • • Reproduction of George Tremlett’s 1975 book The Slade Story, which includes period interviews with all four members and a chronology of tour and release dates up to the time of its publication

Exclusive to PledgeMusic are 1000 of these boxes that come with a set of eight Slade In Flame film lobby cards. This set is also available to pre-order without the lobby cards via other retailers, notably Amazon.

Pledge are selling the ‘limited edition’ box with the lobby cards for £90 and a ‘standard’ box (no lobby cards) for £85. The total production run hasn’t been announced yet, but Salvo ended up producing 1500 of the Frankie boxes in total and a few hundred of those ended up being sold via ‘other channels’.

In terms of presentation, this Slade box is a twelve-inch affair with foam fitment, so very similar to the Frankie box (which was brilliantly presented).

You can read more about this set and ‘pledge’ on it over at PledgeMusic. Please note that “due to licensing restrictions this campaign is NOT available to Pledgers in the US, Canada or Japan”.

When Slade Rocked The World 1971-1975 will be released on 13 November 2015.
