Post Description

Dit is Slade voordat ze hun naam inkortten.

Beginnings is the debut album by the English rock band Ambrose Slade, before they achieved fame as Slade. It was released on 9 May 1969, but failed to enter the charts. It was released as Ballzy in the U.S. It was also re-released years later under the title Beginnings of Slade.

Beginnings was remastered in 2006 and released with their second album Play It Loud on a single CD. Bonus tracks are the singles "Wild Winds Are Blowing" and "Get Down And Get With It".

The artwork for the album featured a photo of the band on the Pouk Hill in Wolverhampton. The band didn't enjoy the photo session due to the cold weather.
