"Slade was arguably England's top Pop/Rock band of the 1970's with Gosh knows how many #1's in a row and 20+ top 10's. This collection covers their career from the beginning to the end, with just a few minor hits from the middle period missing. Slade was never big in the US, possibly too Hard Rock for the US AM radio stations and too POP for FM. Probably just bad timing as Quiet Riot's version of Cum On Feel the Noize was a top 10 hit in the US in the '80's and Slade's own Run Runaway, (included here) was a top 20 hit here, also in the '80's. This is a must have for anyone who likes tuneful, quirky Hard Rock. Great Stuff!!!!!!"

Great rock and roll that stands the test of time!!!

"This is just absolutely GREAT rock and roll that I have been missing for the last twenty or so years! I first started listening to Slade in the early 70's and still don't understand why they didn't make it in the U.S.! Oh well somebody else's loss! I highly recommend this cd!"

The better UK Version Cost Permitting But A Finer Tribute

"The same guys that remastered the Who re-releases were responsible for the remix of this fine collection that covers Slade better than the latter day US version Get Your Boots On..but this is a pricey import but worth it if you are looking for a quality compilation of these boys who added a touch of glitter and rock to the whole glam rock scene.

Forget the influence they had on some of the metal bands, Slade were foremost a bunch of tough working class rockers steeped in the UK tradition of either rocking out with solid uncomplicated but loud catchy chords,clever tunesmiths of ballroom music or doing lovely ballads like Paul McCartney himself,using pianos and strings when needed.

Their parodies of using letters rather than words in their album and song titles were later copied by Prince and it's childishness was all in good fun and meant that way.

Their singles are well captured here and if you never heard Noddy's voice this is a great place to start. The rest of the band rocks on..hard to believe, I saw them open for ZZ Top once in New York a long time ago....they should have headlined, I went to the gig to see Slade.
