Slade - Run Runaway (RESTORED - SUPERSCALED TO 4K)

"Run Runaway" is a song by British rock band Slade, released in 1984 as the third single from the band's 11th studio album, The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome, and as the lead single from the album's US counterpart, Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply. The song was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea and produced by John Punter. It reached No. 7 in the United Kingdom and was the band's breakthrough hit in the United States, where it reached No. 20.
The song is described by Holder as "a rocky Scottish jig", and features Lea on electric fiddle. In a 1984 interview, Holder said: "We always wanted to do a jig with the old violin going and that. We decided to go in and put a sort of rock beat behind an old Scottish jig."
A music video was filmed to promote the single, which was directed by Tim Pope for GLO Productions. It was shot at Eastnor Castle in Ledbury, Herefordshire. The video featured the band performing the song in front of an audience dressed in tartan. Other sequences showed a marching bagpipe band and a kilted Scot grappling with a caber. The video was a big success in America, where it received constant showing on MTV.
The 1983 success of Quiet Riot's version of Slade's 1973 UK chart topper "Cum On Feel the Noize" led to Slade signing with CBS Associated Records for their first American record deal since the 1970s. The label soon repackaged The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome into Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply and released "Run Runaway" as the lead single in March 1984. With surging interest in the band and a music video benefiting from heavy play on MTV, "Run Runaway" was Slade's breakthrough hit in the United States and would remain the band's biggest success there; it peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Top Tracks Chart.

Love this song and Band.

[@MJ1805]

This was the first Slade song I ever heard, great seeing the video in HD, great band with a unique sound.

[@hvymtlcybermusicman]

If you have the opportunity, you should listen to the entire entire catalog. This is a great song, but the band is so much more than this!

[@johnnymonoboy]

The first album i bought for my own cash

[@jellofuel]

It's so Slade to have an album named Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply lmao like that is the most Slade thing to do.

[@SBJ452]

I’m blown away! Amazing job!

[@davidjensen4702]

How awesome hearing at @1:56 how they had the pipe and drum corp march in ! Rock on!

[@myk602010]

Nice job! This is a much better version than that darker version.

[@xziztortheeternal6471]

Didn't use to be so unfocused / blurry. Must be new 5g or something? Glad I found this version. Love this song & video!!!

[@myk602010]

And heavy metal was born.

[@mpf4434451]

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

I did do an upscale of "My Oh My" - it's here in my channel

[@GBD867]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Wow Amazing Time.

[@JayKing-Lewis]

After the tragic death of Bon Scott, Noddy Holder was first choice to replace him as AC/DC front man, being as loyal to Slade as he always was, he turned it down! I always wonder how much more awesome Back in Black would've sounded with Noddy leading the way on tracks such as Hell's bells.. and especially, you shook me all night long ... close your eyes and try to hear it! tell me I'm wrong!

[@colinlatham7905]

Personally I am glad he didn't. Slade was so much better not that I don't like a bit of acca Dacca, Slade is just so much more

[@frankdavis2522]

Yes Noddy would have knocked it out of the park. You have great vision!

[@johnsawh1867]

Love this❤❤

[@Robert_Fordin]

Wow!

[@Alex-hy7of]

Super!

[@davidjenson1570]

I'm watching Arsenic And Old Lace, and the opening song sounds so familiar. I'm thinking, "What is it?" Then, I thought of this song. I looked it up, and it's the same thing as in Arsenic And Old Lace. I looked up the history of the song and find it's based on an old Scottish jig. So, I'm thinking the music at the beginning of the movie is based on the same jig. Hmmmm....I haven't heard this in years, though. Quite forgot about it. It was cool checking it out again!

[@sethbanzai5734]

Most lyrics to most songs are ridiculous.It's the music is what counts and slade were fantastic musicians

[@DennisScott-vo9ex]

That look a lot better i see it must better now thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

You’re welcome 😊

[@DennisScott-vo9ex]

@@CrosscutFilmsSask thank you sir it look amazing great job 👍👍👍👍

[@michellegonzales2193]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SilentKnight43]

I'd gotten used to the crapped out 480p version far too long - and although this has a few flaws and issues - still much better and preferrable. Nice work considering the poor source material you had to work from.

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

Appreciate that

[@charliechristmas5147]

The drummer is awesome…….that drumming took some effort

[@DennisScott-vo9ex]

Thank you cross cut film 🎥

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

You bet!

[@DennisScott-vo9ex]

@@CrosscutFilmsSask thank you again i really enjoyed it thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheeRandyC]

If only the audio didn't sound like a 64kbps mp3 file, this would be great.

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

Find me a better copy of the single edit and I'll re-upload.

[@john197039]

Upscaling comes at a cost and this version has a lot of problems

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

Yeah, it does. Lots of haloing. Unfortunately, when your only source is a 480p original that has already been compressed to hell by KZbin, you gotta take what you're given. I'm not getting paid to do these, but if I were, I'd take a lot more time at them. Besides - it still looks better than anything else out there, unless you have a cleaner, higher quality version I can work from.

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

Unless you prefer this version.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHnSgYyChtuhh68si=VwRKTYHvkYN0hI65

2:19 Gurney Slade.

[@jimbrookfield9011]

Been listening to Slade since the 70’s. Figures this cheesy song is the only one that was popular in the US. Was glad for them though

[@dagda825]

Ah yes. Early MTV videos. Not sure what to do so just mash something together and the kids will love it lol. I like the title song of the album best myself. Gary Numan's "Cars" video is another epic early MTV video.

[@nicholasjohnson1200]

this looks bizarre. It looks like they're all in front of a green screen the whole time.

[@1-I-hate_ads]

I totally forgot about this song 4k video much better.
