Rogues Gallery (album)

Rogues Gallery is the twelfth studio album by the British rock group Slade. It was released on 29 March 1985 and reached number 60 in the UK charts. The band tried hard to make this album contain radio-friendly hit singles and quality material, but because the album was released more than a year after their two Top 10 singles had been riding high, many critics claimed the momentum and public interest in Slade were waning. In fact, this album contained more singles than any of their others, including their Seventies efforts.

The album was released in the US on the CBS label, with a re-worked version of "Lock Up Your Daughters" (the original of which had appeared on the Till Deaf Do Us Part album four years earlier) replacing "All Join Hands." The tracks also had a slightly different sequence.

Noddy Holder explained in a New Zealand television interview at the time of release that the band had set out to write an album where every track could be a single. The band believed they achieved this and Holder stated the band hoped to release all tracks as singles somewhere in the world.

Rogues gallery

A rogues gallery (or rogues' gallery) is a police collection of pictures or photographs of criminals and suspects kept for identification purposes. The term is also used figuratively for any group of shady characters or the line-up of "mugshot" photographs that might be displayed in the halls of a dormitory or workplace or on an online mugshot publishing website.

History

In 1855, Allan Pinkerton founded the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Pinkerton devised the Rogues’ Gallery — a compilation of descriptions, methods of operation (modus operandi), hiding places, and names of criminals and their associates.

Inspector Thomas Byrnes of the late-19th-century New York City Police Department popularized the term with his collection of photographs of known criminals, which was used for witness identification. Byrnes published some of these photos with details of the criminals in Professional Criminals of America (1886).
