On 27th September 1980 Slade's Jim Lea emerged from the shadows of a floundering Slade that had a month before set the wheels in motion for a return to the big time with their festival stealing performance at that years Reading festival. Lea appeared with his wife Louise and brother Frank to perform two tracks on the Multi Coloured Swap Shop, the BBC1 Saturday morning flagship hosted by Noel Edmunds. There is a lost track, the BBC in their wisdom decided to change the P AS B backup as the show was being transmitted and only the last few seconds of 'Didn't You Use to use to be You' exists as an archival backup, luckily SIE has the originally recorded VHS tape and I will also be uploading that AGAIN in due course. Here than is the SIE re edited to 16;9 FORMAT, re dubbed AUDIO, sharpened, colour corrected, gamma sorted :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you who are Jim Lea/Slade fans, I guess most or you wouldn't be HAS an official Facegroup page which features all the latest goings on both professionally and personally, the group can be found on the link at the end of this, I can assure you that any comments you make on Jim's page will be seen by the Lea family and Jim greatly appreciates the continued support.
