"Return to Base" was an album by the british glam/hardrock group Slade. It was released October 1, 1979 and did not enter the charts. The album's cover didn't help matters either. It is said that the band were so low on money at the time, they didn't have the funds to hire a photographer, so all the album got was a very plain red cover with the title stamped on it.

At the time of this album's release, the band were receiving next to no money. Forced to play at small halls and clubs around the UK, the only income they were reliant on was Noddy Holder and Jim Lea's songwriting royalties. Their singles weren't selling, and they were no longer drawing in huge crowds."We had to pay to park in the public area," recalls Jim Lea incredulously. "With no roadies we had to carry our own gear and there was even trouble getting into the backstage area!"

In fact, their record company only pressed a total 3,500 copies of the "Ginny Ginny" single, virtually guaranteeing its failure to enter the charts.
