Slade ) Nobody's Fools ) 1976 (Transparent Clear & Red Splatter Vinyl 2023)
The Fabulous Vinyl LifeYou are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality. Nobody's Fools is the 6th studio album by the British rock group Slade. It was released in March 1976 and reached No. 14 in the UK. Musically, the album showed the band dropping their "loud" and "rocky" type songs, as they moved towards a more "American" soul/pop sound. Tasha Thomas was also hired to provide backing vocals—the 1st Slade album to feature female backing. British fans accused the band of selling out and forgetting about their fan base in the UK, as the band had been in the U.S. for most of 1975, trying to crack the market. The album was Slade's 1st (since their rise to fame) not to reach the UK Top 10, and to drop out of the chart after a chart run of only 4 weeks. It would be their last album to make a UK chart appearance until the 1980 compilation Slade Smashes!. 🔘 Side 1: Nobody's Fool Do the Dirty Let's Call It Quits Pack Up Your Troubles In for a Penny 🔘 Side 2: Get on Up L.A.
