SLADE-WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SLADE-1977-FIRST PRESS UK-BARN -2314103.A rare British original of the legendary band.Whatever Happened to Slade is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Slade. It was released on March 21, 1977 on Barn Records, but failed to chart nationally. By the time the album was released, Slade's popularity was declining, as were their record sales, which they acknowledged in the album title. The glam rock movement that Slade was associated with died, and the careers of other glam rock artists such as Mud, Gary Glitter and Sweet went downhill. In Britain, where Slade was traditionally the most popular, punk rock was in fashion. With this album, Slade established themselves as a straight-talking rock band; their "glam" statements from the beginning of the decade are a thing of the past. The album received critical acclaim and support from the English punk movement. In a 1979 Slade fan poll, the album was ranked among the top three Slade albums.
