Slade - Run Runaway. Top Of The Pops 1984

Nice quality video recorded live in the studio from Top Of The Pops 1984. Slade are an English rock band who rose to prominence during the glam rock era of the early 1970s. With 17 consecutive Top 20 hits and six number ones, the British Hit Singles & Albums names them as the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter at No.1, and all six of the Wolverhampton band's chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. Total UK sales stand at 6,520,171, and their best selling single, "Merry Xmas Everybody", has sold in excess of one million copies.

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Music has also made mention of Holder's powerful vocals and guitarist Dave Hill's equally arresting dress sense along with the deliberate misspelling of their song titles for which they became well known.

In November 2004, Holder made a guest appearance in the second episode of Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere - where he played a garage mechanic called Mick Bustin. From 2005 Holder has appeared in an advertisement campaign for Nobby's Nuts and Crisps. Over the last twelve years Holder has voiced and appeared in many adverts for TV, film and radio. In 2005, original singer for Slade 2, Steve Whalley left the band whom was replaced by Mal McNulty who has sung for the band since. In November 2005, Polydor released a new Slade compilation titled "The Very Best of Slade" which featured two discs with included the majority of Slade singles for the first time on a compilation. A DVD was also released for the first time featuring a collection of Slade videos and promos.

From 2006 to 2007, music label Salvo remastered and released all of Slade's catalogue which featured many b-sides from the band which had never appeared on disc before. In 2006, Holder made a guest appearance in a music video for the Misty's Big Adventure single, "Fashion Parade". Holder also occasionally appeared on the BBC show Grumpy Old Men.Holder was also a regular TV critic and reviewer for The Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie Show on BBC Radio 2. 2006 also saw the release of a four disc anthology set titled "The Slade Box (Anthology 1969--1991)"[188] and a package of all live albums in one "Slade Alive! - The Live Anthology", both part of the remastered series.

In late 2006, UK chart rules changed to allow downloads of old singles eligible to chart which allowed "Merry Xmas Everybody" to return annually to the chart. In 2006 the track peaked at No.21, in 2007 at No.20, 2008 at No.32, 2009 at No.35 and 2010 at No.51.

In 2007, Lea released his first solo album titled "Therapy?" which received positive reception upon release. The album featured Lea's own version of Slade's last single "Universe". Holder was the third celebrity to be inducted onto the Birmingham Walk of Stars. 27,000 people turned out to his induction ceremony, which took place on 9 December 2007 at Birmingham's 2007 Canal Boat Light Parade. The remastered series also saw the release of a new compilation titled "B-Sides" which featured all of the band's b-sides in their career.

For Christmas 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Holder has recorded a TV show countdown of hit Christmas tunes. On 24 December 2008, Holder appeared on British TV's BBC humorous news quiz show, Have I Got News for You as a member of Paul Merton's team. In 2009, a new compilation was released titled "Live at the BBC" which featured various songs recorded for BBC sessions between 1969 to 1972 and Radio 1 jingles recorded in 1973 and 1974, while the second disc contains songs recorded live at the Paris Theatre, London, in August 1972.

In January 2010 Holder and his wife appeared on All Star Mr & Mrs on ITV where they won the jackpot for charity.[194] In 2011, Salvo released a remastered version of Slade Alive! on its own instead of the original 2006 package which contained Slade's entire official live material. Powell is currently collaborating with Lise Lyng Falkenberg on his biography.

I just love this band, Noddy Holder was the best front man, Jim Lea was yummy 🥰 Great live band, Jim amazing with the different instruments he plays. I remember how frightening Dons accident was, and how good it was he came back into the band albeit with memory problems. I still listen to them as they create such joy with their music, for those who have not seen it, watch Slade in flame, great soundtrack

They had six no. One hit singles in the UK but nothing in US. They toured successfully in US but never achieved the same success. Lotta great songs from 70s and 80s and the fantastic merry xmass everyone.

[hellogoodbye]

You just have to love a song that the whole audience can sing along song ranks right up there with Queen's "We Will Rock You"....just inane lyrics but an absolute joy to scream out during a concert.

[linuskarlsson]

just looking at them this band is the happiest band i've ever seen.

[larsborupjensen]

love 'em, love 'em & love 'em!!!
