Lost ALL interest in SLADE so now you all know:
Hi all, I WAS supposed to be involved with a Slade DVD but can't be arsed with Slade or Noddy Holder FULL STOP.
you can read about it here:

Also on here is the only place you will be able to see an Ambrose Slade Promo filmed at Euston in late 68/ early 69:

I had been onto Colin Newman (Management) and each member of Slade for years about having a complete DVD released, but, did they listen? NO, now they want MY help in locating the footage, I already know where it is but they wasn't interested at the time.
I lost interest in the "project"
Other screen shots can be seen here:

Dear Gary.Proposals need to come here not Union Square as contractual
matters are dealt with by me.To put it straight. The last time I got
involved with a person providing information (who shall remain nameless), it
resulted in a lot of unpleasantness.However , we are interested in locating
unseen quality footage and would be interested in your research.Cheers Colin.

Just goes to show those "in the Know" were right in the end, it WAS "unofficial" total rubbish, hardly worth our hard earned cash, ah "behave" Nod, Jim, Newman even Chas knew years ago who to goto for a "proper "official" DVD something that would have made us all (including the band and it's management PROUD)
Good evening/ Morning as most of you will know who I am, why on earth has the whole farce of the supposedly Rare and Unseen DVD been cancelled?
Is it because the management upon viewing a copy of the DVD (YES I do have a copy) realised it didn't represent the band in their prime (oh I forgot the mince pie brigade are about to hit the shops)
Nod, Jim, Colin, Chas and everybody else I bin banging on about this for years you had yer chance now you missed the boat (and it's not THREE men) but ONE, one who has laid dormant for the last 3 years (regarding a Slade DVD) one who has done the legwork over god knows how many years one who knows where the TX quality footage lays amongst the dust.
AND there's "far better footage" out there in the dust, know where it is etc etc I wash me hands.
How come "Secret Records" can do a deal for yet "another" re-issue of Beginnings with Record Collector but can't yet spend the time ormoney on a proper proud to be called a Slade fan DVD BOX SET lesser bands hav em why not Slade?

How does FRO sound STOP sending ME e mails for "modern bands" at Universal Music, UNLESS it's something to do wiv SLADE. Newman & Co, Nod & Jim should have at least released a decent SLADE BOX SET DVD by now, I WAS around in them dayz supported the band through thick and thin (and still do to this day)
OTHER "LESS" bands of the era have far better "visual" product out there.
Do Universal Music (YOU) own Fontana/ Polydor (I KNOW you DO) Nod & Jim own the rights to the soundtrack ONLY on TV performances, the other rights rests with the TV/film companies and I know the copyright laws.
All I can say is get off your'e arses STOP counting on XMAS year after year and the countless re-issues of Crackers or Beginnings.
YOU all know I have re-searched TV (and newspapers/ sound & images) archives all over the world (I'm probably the only one to have access to these archives) if it does exist I WILL find it.
One final word, because of my stance over the whole issue of a "proper" DVD other than the the bull proposed in the rare and unseen DVD (twice as bad, if not worse than the Inside Slade DVD) I strongly ask Nod to cease and desist from having a direct swipe at ME on TV progammes such as Genius wiv Dave Gorman just because I got the strength & conviction to say it as it is, it's US who made the band without US it's fans the LOYAL following, the band would have never have made it (NO I'm NOT young) my first single (brought) was Know Who You Are.
Dave cum close in July, what does it take, SHOW the world you were simply the best, better than all the rest (Sweet, T.Rex, Mud, Showaddywaddy etc etc, even the Bay City Rollers a band that ripped hell out the competition and NOT a band that only comes to life in December, YOU and WE are far better than that.
So now you know they are willing to pay thousands for a "PROFESSIONAL COMPILER" who will only find certain bits of footage but not a penny to me, that's why I pulled out of the project/ fell out big time with noddy holder.
I'd be surprised if the release would even represent the rare unseen footage that lays in the dust
KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!!
