Play It Loud

Play It Loud is the second album by the British rock group Slade (and their first under this name, having released Beginnings under the name 'Ambrose Slade'). It was released on 28 November 1970 but did not enter the charts.

With very little promotion and advertising, the album failed to reach a wide audience. The absence of a 'hit' single was also a factor in this. It is regarded by some as an influential rock release, foreshadowing punk rock nearly seven years prior to its UK explosion.

The band appeared on the UK show Disco 2 to promote the album. They made three appearances during 1970. Three songs were performed from the album; Shape Of Things To Come, Know Who You Are and Sweet Box. All three performances have never surfaced since broadcasting.

Slade, in this incarnation, had adopted a "skinhead" image by suggestion of their manager Chas Chandler.

Play It Loud was remastered in 2006 and released with the Ambrose Slade album Beginnings on a single CD. Bonus tracks are the singles "Wild Winds Are Blowing" and "Get Down And Get With It".

Play It Loud (Chris Cagle album)

Play It Loud is the debut album of country music artist Chris Cagle. It features the singles "My Love Goes On and On", "Laredo", "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out", and "Country by the Grace of God".

The disc was originally issued on Virgin Nashville in 2000, minus the tracks "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" (which was originally cut by David Kersh on his 1998 album If I Never Stop Loving You) and "Are You Ever Gonna Love Me." After Virgin shut down its country division and Cagle moved to sister company Capitol Nashville in 2001, the album was re-issued with the aforementioned tracks and new album art. The newly added tracks were produced by Chris Lindsey.
