Return to Base We'll Bring the House Down Til Deaf Do Us Part

We'll Bring The House Down was an album by the british glam/hardrock group Slade. It was released March 13, 1981 and entered the UK charts at number 25. This was due to the Reading Festival success the previous year, when they had stood in for Ozzy Osbourne. Slade got exactly what they needed, and received a huge amount of notoriety from the concert. All of a sudden, as if overnight, they were now deemed 'cool'. Their record company didn't take long to jump on their success either, and released a sharp compilation Slade Smashes! which reached the #20 spot.

As this album was released almost a month after their Reading appearance, there was little time to record new tracks, so some of the tracks were recycled from their failed Return to Base album of the previous year.
