Release
Upon release, Record Mirror magazine released an article based on the album's demand. "Orders for Slade's new album "Old New Borrowed and Blue" are becoming out of this world. Advanced sales just before releases were 170,000 which means 1,190,000 single record units. All the album songs are written by Jimmy Lea and Noddy Holder save for "Just a Little Bit" and you had the Record Mirror magazine verdict last week on the tracks - hit all the way!"
In a Record Mirror review, a Slade spokesman stated "the album had sold twice as many cartridges and cassettes than their previous offerings: "perhaps because Slade fans are getting older and probably use tapes in their cars."

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
