The song was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by John Punter.[2] It reached No. 73 in the UK, remaining in the charts for four weeks. BackgroundSlade began writing and recording material for their You Boyz Make Big Noize album in 1986. Hoping to record a hit album that would put them back in the public eye, "Still the Same" was chosen by RCA as the album's lead single. Plans for a Christmas 1986 release were scrapped and the single was held back until 1987 as an attempt to avoid Slade's label as being a Christmas-only band.[3] Released in February 1987, "Still the Same" reached No. 73 in the UK.[4] In the UK, the single suffered from a lack of radio play;[3] it was only B-Listed on BBC Radio 1, rather than being placed on the A-List.[5] In a 1987 fan club interview, guitarist Dave Hill spoke of the song's lack of chart success: ""Still the Same" is basically being regarded as a flop in terms of what was expected of it. I think the record company were mostly disappointed, as it was more them than the group who chose it. It was always up for a single though, right from the demo stage. "Still the same" did virtually the same as "My Oh My" chart-wise in its first few weeks, but at the point where "My Oh My" picked up the radio play, "Still the Same" was dropped completely, especially by Radio One."[6] Hill felt the song "deserved to go much higher in the charts than it did".[7] Release"Still the Same" was released on 7" and 12" vinyl by RCA Records in the UK, Germany and Portugal. The 12" vinyl was released across other European countries too.[8] The B-side, "Gotta Go Home", was exclusive to the single and would later appear on the band's 2007 compilation B-Sides. In the UK, a special limited edition commemorative version of the single was also issued to mark and celebrate Slade's 21st anniversary. This double pack edition included an additional 7" vinyl with "The Roaring Silence" as the A-side and "Don't Talk to Me About Love" as the B-side. The former track would appear on You Boyz Make Big Noize, while the latter would later be re-used as a B-Side for the band's 1987 single "Ooh La La in L.A.". On the 12" single, an extended version of "Still the Same" was featured as the A-side.[9] PromotionNo music video was filmed to promote the single. In the UK, the band performed the song on the TV shows The Tom O'Connor Show and Saturday Superstore. To promote the single in record stores, posters were produced, although these were mainly distributed to London retailers.[5] Critical receptionUpon release Kerrang! described the song as a "soggy offering", preferring the "far more listenable" B-side "Gotta Go Home".[10] In a review of You Boyz Make Big Noize, American newspaper Record-Journal said the song was a "hook-filled, powerful tune", "resplendent in its anthemic arrangement and heavenly harmonizing chorus".[11] In a retrospective review, Doug Stone of AllMusic commented: "Slade's headiest daze long gone, the band amazingly squeezes out sparks like "Still the Same": always tunefully tight, but loose enough to sing in the pub."[12] Formats
