At the beginning of chapter 10 in Holders book, he states quite categorically."It was always reported at the time that the title was taken from Putney bridge which had it emblazoned on one side. 'Whatever Happened To Slade' was certainly daubed on the wall of the Oval"Dave Graham: Slade In England
"While we were away in the states, someone had written Whatever Happened To Slade in huge letters across one of the sides of a Thames bridge, it was a famous piece of graffiti, it was there for years, we went to see it, we loved it...we had recorded a second album in New York and was due for release, we wanted to call it Whatever Happened To Slade and use a shot of the bridge on the sleeve. The record company liked the title, but not the cover idea..."
"It was oft reported that Chandler had named the bands 1977 LP after seeing graffiti on a bridge in Londinium, and that the graffiti was in some way connected to fans of the band... now that may or may not be true, it's a good story but the reference to the band is completely wrong. The first recorded grafitti with the subject matter was an act of vandalism perpetrated against that most August of English Establishment iconography the Wall of the Kensington Oval Cricket Ground. This was in common usage as a pre cursor to drop in front of anything in those days and it all stemmed from the name of a popular TV comedy show 'Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads'."
"There was an argument put forward that the six foot high graffiti on the walls of the Oval were in actual fact a reference made to a court case and legal battle being presided over by lord Chief Justice Sir Christopher Slade, a court case that was threatening to tear the game of cricket apart as Australian business man Kerry Packer set about reinventing the game and started offering Big big money for professional players, England players at that, to go off to Play Australian Cricket, The ECCB (English County Cricket Board) decided that this was an outrageous proposition and banned any of it's members from playing for Kerry Packer. Justice Slade by and large came down on the side of Packer and his rebel test matches, stating that "A professional cricketer needs to make his living as much as any other professional man.". This was widely seen as heresy by the Cricketing establishment, and brought into question the motives and otherwise impeccable credentials of Justice Slade, with mutterings and murmerings that he had somehow been bought by Packer, hence the sarcasm laden question 'Whatever Happened To Slade' which was hand painted in six foot high letters on the perimeter wall of the arena opposite the junction with Clayton Street. This graffiti also appeared in other places around London at the same time and remember that in the mid 70's graffiti protests had become fashionable after the 'George Davis is innocent' graffiti campaign where that particular graffiti was also carved out of Lords Test Cricket wicket."
"That story was perpetuated on a number of Slade related sites some years ago, and the internet being what it is, it soon became bandied around as a fact, especially on a certain Belgian based bored. It was all too easy to read up on the findings of Lord Chief Justice Sir Christopher Slade's ruling which actually took place in 1978. The legal case began in late september of 1977 and indeed WHTS was daubed on the Oval walls and made the press as ruffled retired colonels from Surrey wrote letters of complaint to the Times. However, as WHTS was released in Mar/Apr of 77, a full six months before Justice Slade started the case it would make the postulation complete and utter cobblers, which it was. WHTS was being daubed around London probably by the same fan a good two years before the events of the cricketing summer of 1977. This was of course before their re emergence on the UK tour circuit in 1977."Barn Records - 2314 103
The seventh Studio Album by the band and the first on their own label, Barn, but it did not enter any national album chart, so "Whatever Happened" indeed?

Lightning Never Strikes Twice
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
Lightning never strikes twice lightning never strikes twice
Lightning never strikes me twice in one place
From an electric cloud to an electric cloud
Lighning take me for a ride into space
Saw a fast fallen star I saw a fast fallen star
Saw the twisted candle melting aways
Heard a rooster crow I heard a new day grow
Saw a sign that said way out in a maze
Who did slip me de fin - I don't know where to begin to come down
Who did slip me de trip - It ain't hip I need a grip or I'll drown
From an eternity to an eternity I crossed the universe and wanted to stay
Passed through infinite time I passed through infinite time, saw creation from the opposite way
Who did slip me de fin - I don't know where to begin to come down
Who did slip me de trip - It ain't hip I need a grip or I'll drown
Lightning never strikes twice lightning never strikes twice
Lightning never strikes me twice in one place
And I drove in my car to catch a fast rising star
Many who are gonna sink without trace
Heard a rooster crow heard a new day grow
Saw the sign that said way out in a maze
From an eternity to an eternity
I was born again but still in a daze
Who did slip me de fin - I don't know where to begin to come down
Who did slip me de trip - It ain't hip I need a grip or I'll drown
Who did slip me de fin - I don't know where to begin to come down
Who did slip me de trip - It ain't hip I need a grip or I'll drown

Big Apple Blues
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
City streets where the steam and the heat never goes to sleep
What a sight all the yellow and tans and the blacks and whites
There's also a dark shade of blue struttin' along two by two
Their guns hangin' low like the cowboys you dig in the old gunfights
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues
And I got hung up on them big apple blues
And I got strung up on them big apple blues
I ain't got nothint' to lose
Them hot licks from the hicks satisfy the Manhattan chicks
Them cool schmucks get their hooks on the bucks with their sexy looks
They all know how to do what good little girls shouldn't do
I don't care 'bout evasion 'cos all o' that hassle sucks
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues
And I got hung up on them big apple blues

City streets where the steam and the heat never goes to sleep
And city walls standing tall if you fall no-one hears you call
There are bodies all filled up with wine sayin' buddy have you got a dime
The apple ain't bad it's just bruised and I'm glad that it's there at all
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues
And I got hung up on them big apple blues
I got strung on switched on hooked on them big apple blues
I got hooked on snooked on cooked on them big apple blues

Dead Men Tell No Tales
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
On the day we pulled the bank job, Mugsy Baker he stopped some lead
He don't always pack the hardware but we sure did need the bread
Everything was running smoothly all the folks were cool and calm
Till some smartass became the hero and then he sounded the alarm
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibis
Their only time time time is wasting away
Soon the building was surrounded, not a chance to make a break
We was trapped the cops were closin' in them bullets were no fake
As the good guy he lay there bleedin' Me the bad guy I started to retch
Then old Mugsy he caught a ricochet We were heading for a stretch
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibis
Their only time time time is wasting away
In the holdup there was Mugsy, Me and Benjamin the bear
Mugs would rather go down fightin' Just to save him from the chair
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibis

It's the soul and the roll and the motion
It's the strength and the length and the notion
Well the first time I saw you I just couldn't ignore you
And I needed you down to the ground yeah
The two of us knew it that if sometime we blew it
We'd get it - next time around
I said call me the jumper
'Cos I keep coming back for some more
Oh oh oh call me the jumper
And I'm the get lucky king that's for sure
It's the soul and the roll and the motion
It's the strength and the length and the notion
It's the soul and the roll and the strength, the length

Oh you can call me the joker
And you can call me the king of the bounce
Well you can call me the jumper
And you can call me the king of the pounce
It's the soul and the roll and the motion
It's the strength and the length and the notion
Well the first time I saw you I just couldn't ignore you
And I wanted you right there and then yeah
The first time we tried it I got right there inside it
We did it all over and then all over again
Oh you can call me the leaper
And you can call me the king of the stroke
Well call me the leaper
'Cos I'm the love king with plenty of poke
It's the soul and the roll and the motion
It's the strength and the length and the notion
Well the first time we made it your reaction okay'd it
And I wanted you down to the ground yeah
The two of us knew it that if sometime we blew it
We'd get it together yeah the next time around
Everybody call me get lucky
You can call me the get lucky king
Oh oh oh call me get lucky
You can call me the bee with the sting
It's the soul and the roll and the motion
It's the strength and the length and the notion
Well the first time I saw you I just couldn't ignore you
And I needed you down to the ground yeah
The two of us knew it that if sometime we blew it
We'd get it - next time around
I said call me the jumper
'Cos I keep coming back for some more
Oh oh oh call me the jumper
And I'm the get lucky king that's for sure
It's the soul and the roll and the motion
It's the strength and the length and the notion
It's the soul and the roll and the strength, the length
