THE GENESIS OF SLADE is a compilation album of pre-Slade era recordings by British rock band Slade. It was first released on 3rd March 1996 by The Music Corporation and was later re-issued by Cherry Red in 2000. Compiled by the late John Haxby, THE GENESIS OF SLADE is the complete collection of 25 pre-Slade recordings ranging from 1964 to 1966. It features studio recordings by The Vendors, Steve Brett & The Mavericks, The 'N Betweens (Mk. 1) and The 'N Betweens (Mk. 2). This brilliant 25-track compilation is a must for all Slade fans as it puts together the band's rare recordings from 1964 to 1966, before they became known as Slade. Featuring 25 recordings from the days when they were in bands such as The Vendors, Steve Brett & The Mavericks & The 'N Betweens. Includes 20 page book with sleeve-notes from former members & a pre-Slade band history.

The idea behind this compilation is one that's extremely useful to Slade fans trying to track down rarities recorded by groups in which the members played prior to Ambrose Slade's formation in the late '60s. This 25-track CD includes all of them, starting with the privately pressed 1964 EP by The Vendors (with Dave Hill on lead guitar and Don Powell on drums), and moving on to the three flop 1965 singles by Steve Brett & The Mavericks (with Noddy Holder on guitar and backing vocals). Most significantly, this has the two 1966 singles by The 'N Betweens that featured all four Slade members, as well as three 1966 outtakes by that lineup, and the rare EP and a four-song acetate recorded in 1965 by an earlier 'N Betweens lineup with Hill and Powell. Still, the overused cliché "of historical interest only" applies here, although some of The 'N Betweens tracks are fairly decent. The Vendors' EP is dominated by just-professional oldies covers, though it does have the generic Merseybeat-style original "Don't Leave Me Now," co-written by Hill. The Steve Brett & The Mavericks singles are pretty limp and corny mainstream pop/rockers heavily influenced by Elvis Presley ballads and sub-Elvis British crooners like Adam Faith, and it's hard to see how these could appeal to many if any Slade fans. The first lineup of The 'N Betweens boasted a far tougher R&B-rock British Invasion sound, but most of the tunes here are covers, and they're far below the standards of The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things, and the like, though generally that's the bag for which they're aiming. Best of all on the disc, though not great by any means, are the two 1966 singles by The 'N Betweens' second lineup, which are fair but not very imaginative period British soul-blues-rock. A little bit of the crude streak that would flower in Slade surfaces in the outtake "Ugly Girl," co-written by their (briefly) producer, Kim Fowley. Only seven of the tracks, incidentally, were taken from the master tapes; some surface noise is present on some of the cuts mastered from vinyl and acetates, though it doesn't seriously hinder the listenability.
