Not only was the song 'insipid', by Slade's musical standards, the dodgy lyrics got them banned by the BBC. Be would have, er, been my personal choice for a single.

How D'You Ride" had originally been considered as a potential single, with Chandler particularly keen on seeing it released as one. [11] In a 2006 interview, drummer Don Powell revealed of "I Won't Let It 'appen Agen": "If you listen to the start of that one you can hear somebody shout, 'Yeah!' That's me shouting, because it felt so good when we started, that I just couldn't help saying it. And it was kept." [12] JPG (572x800 pixels)". sladefanclub.weebly.com.

Chandler was not pleased with the debut album and thought the band would benefit from writing their own material and a change of image. The band adopted a skinhead look as an attempt to gain publicity from what was a newsworthy youth fashion trend, but this also added an unwelcome association with football hooliganism. [11] Noddy Holder and Don Powell were particularly tough-looking individuals already, and the skinhead look exacerbated the disturbing effect of having "toughs" in the band. In 1970, the band shortened their name to Slade and released a new single, a cover of " Shape of Things to Come" which, despite a performance on United Kingdom music show Top of the Pops, failed to chart. [17]

During 1972, Slade recorded their third studio album Slayed?, with the lead single " Mama Weer All Crazee Now" being released in August that year. The song topped the UK chart and "Gudbuy T'Jane" followed as a single in November, by which time Slayed? had already been released earlier in the month. "Gudbuy T'Jane" reached No. 2 in the UK. The song reached No. 1 on the New Musical Express Chart, [5] and was also Slade's most successful single of the 1970s in the United States, where it reached No. 68. [4]A second single entitled " Look Wot You Dun", was released at the start of 1972, peaking at number four and a live album was released in March. [5] The album Slade Alive! proved to be successful, spending 52 weeks in the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number two. [23] It also did well abroad, topping the Australian chart and giving the band their first chart entry in America. [24] [25] The album was recorded over three nights at a newly built studio in Piccadilly in front of 300 fan-club members. [11] [26] Today the album is regarded as one of the finest live albums ever made. [20]

[84] The single was not a major hit, reaching number 73 in the UK, leaving RCA wondering whether it might have been a better idea to release it at Christmas. [23] [84] Released in April, " That's What Friends Are For" suffered a similar fate, peaking at number 95. [23] Slade's final studio album, You Boyz Make Big Noize, was released a week later. It was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, Lea and Punter. [85] The album was poorly promoted with no accompanying tour or music videos and spent just one week in the UK chart, peaking at number 98. [23] Like much of Slade's later material, it fared better in Norway where it got to number 12. [86] Whitburn, Joel (1996). Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Albums, 1955–2001. Record Research. p. 804.

These were different times, the glam swept away by the grit of punk, and, to an extent, Slade were a different band.
