Slime
Slime was SLIMEY TOAD from Johnny Moped’s solo adventure into a recording studio during a bit of downtime in Johnny Moped’s career in 1978.
Slimey Toad What happened was Johnny Moped/Paul Halford wasn’t around for rehearsals, gigs or recordings, so in the do it yourself spirit of punk rock the vibe was still happening so I decided that as I had a couple of songs I would just put them out myself, so that’s what we did.

He was joined by mates Dave Tate on drums and Phil Sayers on vox and bass and they never got around to playing live as Moped duties took over once again.
The Slime single came out on Toadstool Records, Slimey’s idea for a record label which was run by Chris Goodness who ran a couple of record shops in Caterham, South London.
It was recorded in Richmond studios where the legendary Johnny Moped Classic Cycledelic was also recorded.
Slimey Toad The Slime single was my kind of thing, my experiment if you like, punk/new wave was all about if you knew two chords then just record a song and put it out. I just wanted to express myself really and it was also an opportunity to record these two songs and give them an airing. And we had cheaper guitars back in those days too!
