A multi-format box set featuring Slade’s early to mid-70s material is to be released on October 16 via Salvo Music.

When Slade Rocked The World: 1971-1975 features vinyl editions of Slade Alive!, Slayed?, Old New Borrowed And Blue and Slade In Flame. In addition, the package comes bundled with four double-sided singles, an interview flexidisc and two CDs containing material from the four vinyl releases.

Also included is a 10-inch hardback book featuring reviews, features and memorabilia, along with a copy of George Tremlett’s 1975 book The Slade Story.

The deluxe set is available to pre-order via PledgeMusic, although it’s not open to those living in North America or Japan due to licensing restrictions. Two packages are available to pre-order, including a limited-edition pack which comes with a set of eight Slade In Flame cards.
