NOTES:
All of this does not change the fact that the production was diabolical. For reasons best known to the man on the mixing desk, the bands instrumentation was split up across the stereo channels. The bands carefully crafted 'wall of noize' has been dissected leaving Slade playing in an empty void. My guess is that the BBC sound crew were still excited about how best to make use of FM radio technology within the world of Pop Music. The ability to make everything sound spacious and individual was probably the baseline of their directive, the complete opposite of Slade's intended delivery technique.

Another unfortunate event is Jim Lea's violin. He delivers a great rendition of Django Reinhardt's Lady Be Good which the group then follow up with Coz I Luv You which sounds empty until the Dave Hill & Don Powell join in. The reason becomes apparent when the song gets to the middle eight and the violin solo is not to be heard. As the vocal comes back in so does the violin but it's too late, the song is all but over. What is difficult to ascertain is whether its an instrument problem or a mixing desk problem. There doesn't appear to be the usual interference associated with a loose or faulty cable and I'm sure Jim Lea would have noticed, had his violin not been making music?
