Tracklisting: Condition
The sleeve is firmly in the Very Good bracket condition wise, that's not to say it's not a lovely copy, but there is a fair degree of creasing to the laminate around the edges, and some edge & corner wear with some slight paper loss, and has a small tear on the opening edge. Despite some storage scuffing, all print remains clearly legible, including along the spine. This is only the second copy we have ever seen, so to find the sleeve in any condition is nothing short of a miracle.
The vinyl has obviously seen some turntable action, with some noticeable spindle marks around the label, the vinyl has some light paper scuffs & hairlines, however, playback quality is far above the VG/VG- grading we would normally give on visual inspection. The sound is superb and, of course, the album packs quite a punch.
By no means a mint copy [this one is double the price & then some in the book!], we are nonetheless pleased to have finally tracked down a serviceable example. Not only would this be a serious, welcome addition to any Slade collection but would no doubt complete it!

sleeve with restored artwork, hype sticker & factory sealed)
Tracklisting: West Midlands rockers Slade started out as The ’N Betweens, a blues-influenced band formed by members of The Vendors and The Mavericks; their earliest recordings were issued in France by Barclay. In 1966 they met producer Kim Fowley in London, leading to a cover of a Rascals track for Columbia, which topped regional charts, but failed to impact nationally. Signed to Fontana in 1969, they became Ambrose Slade, the name inspired by the shoes and handbag worn by a label secretary.
The US edition of their debut album, titled Ballzy, shows the band still finding their feet, with a range of styles and diverse cover tunes: renditions of wistful Beatles track “Martha My Dear” and Marvin Gaye’s “If This World Were Mine” are contrasted by the slinking, guitar-led instrumental, “Genesis,” and blues-rock creeper, “Roach Daddy.” During the album’s recording, the group drew the attention of Hendrix’s manager Chas Chandler, who soon convinced another name change and shift of direction, leading to a skinhead look and ultimately, an embrace of glam rock; Ballzy captures the group at an in-between phase, experimenting with diverse influences in the quest for a sound of their own.
