SLEEVE NEAR MINT (please, see pictures and read above description)
Of the 12 titles on Ambrose Slade there are four originals by Noddy Holder and company,
something that would change when Chas Chandler took over a year later.
However, this album of tasteful covers is charming, even if Holder has trouble
reaching the notes on the Beatles' "Martha My Dear" or Marvin Gaye's often
covered but still somewhat obscure "If This World Were Mine."
He does an impressive John Kaye, and the inclusion of two tracks from
the first Steppenwolf album indicate the real influence behind Slade.
They were Britain's Steppenwolf. "Everybody's Next One" and "Born to Be Wild"
sound great in the hands of these U.K. rockers, the essential keyboards ripped
away from "Born to Be Wild" giving us a garage rock version full of life...(AllMusic)
