Telegraph A clear headed analysis Record Collector Slade should be revered. Heres a book that does that. Bob Geldof The combination of Daryls writing skills, research and contributions from fans has cumulated in a book that gives Slade the serious recognition it deserves. Jim Lea (Slade) "Makes me want to go and investigate the obscure corners of the catalogue, which is always the sign of a great bio." Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) At last! An author with insight, sympathy and commitment has written a substantial book about Slade that dissects the highs and lows of a career that is unique in the annals of British pop Chris Charlesworth, Just Backdated Daryl Easlea analyses Slades phenomenal career with a serious eye, placing them in context between Bowie and Mud and evoking a world of backstreet boozers with their pickled eggs and Big D peanut displays.
