If anyone happens to have the Slade album "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply" in digital format, please drop me a line. I've done a little poking around and can't seem to find it to purchase. I'm not a big digi-music guy but would love to be able to hear a great album from my college years. I've got it on vinyl but that does me no good right now.

Thanks!

Thanks Michal. I guess I suck at this cybersearching thing. :p

Ouch, $45 is a bit more than I was looking to spend. :(

Ahhh, the days of our youth really do slip away never again to be relived.

Musicstack is a good source. Have been a member there for years, both as a seller and a buyer.

This one is good too (listed below). A member here as well and purchases here, like Musicstack, usually go without a hitch:

The first is strange because it reads "LP" but also says the media format is CD, in VG condition. A steal too if it's CD. One copy avail.

The second is more in line with prices you've seen, but a little cheaper. One copy avail too.

Wilkey, unfortunatelly high price is the nature of out of print CD's :)

I had the same situation with Luke Vibert's Big Soup.
I've spent lots of money for original Mo Wax release but it gives me really big satisfaction to have it :)
 
Thanks Michal! If I could find a Japanese CD pressing or something like that I would pay $40.

AVB,

Question is which of these work with iTunes on a Mac? Looks like I'd have to set up an account too. Maybe I should just find a vinyl to digital transfer service.

I saw Slade in concert in 1974 or so. It was the only concert I ever walked out from. The theater was just too small for the BIG sound, and even though the music was great, it was just too loud. That comes from a guy who blasted Led Zep through Koss headphones.

A warning note to those still young... I have Tinnitus ( buzzing in the ear) in both ears that never goes away, it's there 24/7. I am sure it came from concerts and loud headphones.

You are not alone with that (Tinnitus) makes sleeping a pain.
 
So picky :p

Did you know that "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply" is a US reissue of "The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome" There are two songs difference. KYHOMPS has the title track and "Can't Tame A Hurricane" while TAKS doesn't have those two but adds "Cocky Rock Boys (Rule O.K.)" and "Razzle Dazzle Man".

TAKS is available at GEMM for $13.79
 
Saw this, and was reminded of this thread. So, for you Wilkey. Guess that would definitely be one concert at which you could have sported your assless chaps...

Don't you have those pants Wilkey? :laugh:

Edited to add -

I swear they look like something off Sid and Marty Kroft...perhaps the guest-band of The Buggaloos.

Kidding aside, I did just happen to notice this question.

MPG4/AAC is the format for Apple/iTunes/iPod.
 
Thanks, MC,

Some of that S&M Kroft stuff was scary. Do you remember Sigmund the Sea Monster? Yikes!

Slade were definitely of the glam rock/stadium rock genre. But perhaps I'm seeing things. The fellow second from the right. Does his breastplate look like a Partagas cigar band? ???

And yep, that S&M Krofft stuff was absoltuely drug-induced. Had to have been. I remember it all though, and some of it I loved. Wonderbuggy, Land of the Lost (what was that half-boy, half-ape creature?...chak-ka?...and those slee-staks???...whatever), and one of the crazier ones outside of the Bugaloos, Bigfoot and Wildboy. Of course, then there is HR Pufnstuf.

Kinda figures that the Kroffts were behind the Bay City Rollers Show...or the Kroftt Super Terrific Happy Hour (or whatever the hell it was called).
