Slade – The Artist
Slade are an English rock band formed in Walsall in 1966. They rose to prominence during the glam rock era in the early 1970s, achieving 17 consecutive top 20 hits and six number ones on the UK Singles Chart. The British Hit Singles & Albums names them the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one; all six of the band’s chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. As of 2006, total UK sales stand at 6,520,171, and their best-selling single, “Merry Xmas Everybody”, has sold in excess of one million copies. According to the 1999 BBC documentary It’s Slade, the band have sold over 50 million records worldwide.
Lock Up Your Daughters – The Song
‘Lock Up Your Daughters’ is a song by English rock band Slade, released in 1981 as the second single from the band’s tenth studio album, Till Deaf Do Us Part. It was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and was produced by Slade. “Lock Up Your Daughters” reached number 29 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 75 for eight weeks. “Lock Up Your Daughters” saw the band continuing to produce a more heavy metal-influenced sound as their performance at the Reading Festival attracted followers of the New wave of British heavy metal. In addition to the song’s chart success, it also became a popular addition to the band’s live concerts.
The Padlock – The Shape
This record has been modelled into a modern padlock. Padlocks are portable locks with a shackle that may be passed through an opening (such as a chain link, or hasp staple) to prevent use, theft, vandalism or harm. A padlock is composed of a body, shackle, and locking mechanism. The typical shackle is a “U” shaped loop of metal (round or square in cross-section) that encompasses what is being secured by the padlock (e.g., chain link or hasp). Generally, most padlock shackles either swing away (typical of older padlocks) or slide out of the padlock body when in the unlocked position. Less common designs include a straight, circular, or flexible (cable) shackle.
