Dave Hill on that legendary Reading Festival performance...: “One heck of an experience, ‘cos I wasn’t going to do that gig. Slade manager Chas Chandler talked me into it…the confidence came when there was a reaction, as it built and built, sort of got bigger and bigger.

The cover photo for the band's debut album Beginnings (as Ambrose Slade), was shot by Richard Stirlin at Pouk Hill in Walsall on a freezing cold day, not too far from where Noddy was then living. The shoot inspired the lyrics for the track Pouk Hill on the band's second album.
