Album Description In the early 1970s, glam rock band Slade dominated the British charts with 17 Top 20 hits, including six at #1. While their star didn?t soar as high in the States, the band wasn?t completely overlooked. Covers of "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" by ?80s rock band Quiet Riot brought Slade renewed interest. Other bands followed suit with covers by groups as disparate as Oasis, The Runaways and Wonderstuff. Get Your Boots On ? The Best Of Slade marks the first time this legendary group sees a domestic greatest hits collection. ? Slade had a total of 17 Top 20 hits in the UK. ? Slade?s songs have been covered by everyone from Oasis to the Runaways but none so familiar in the U.S. as Quiet Riot?s hit with "Cum On Feel The Noize" and the hit "Mama Weer All Crazee Now." ? Slade?s own U.S. chart success peaked in 1984 with their album Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply and the Top 40 singles "My, Oh My" and "Run, Runaway." Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThese boyz made great noize Tim Brough | Springfield, PA United States | 11/17/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Finally, an American release that gets the best of Slade. Cleaned up and gathered in one disc, this is glam rock when it still had no real pretense to art. Along with the likes of Gary Glitter, Status Quo, and Sweet, Slade was playing loud and loose, and never losing sight that one of the best parts of making rock was having fun with it. Slade never took sides. They just wanted everyone to "Get Down and Get With It." Despite such nonsensical titles like "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" or "Gudbuy T'Jane," Slade was serious about having a good time. While they were never as huge in America as they were in the UK, these songs will still sound like hits to unfamiliar ears. The Quiet Riot driven resurrection of Slade even brought them a hit album and singles in the 80's (and finally, and American Top 40 rocker in "Run Runaway"). Slade understood the power of gritty but goofy fun. "Get Yer Boots On" drop a 16 chord salute to one of the best party bands of the seventies. Also, if you can catch a viewing of the recently issued "Slade In Flame" DVD, from which the song "How Does It Feel" is culled, give it a look. It's the antithesis of what The band's music represents, and one of the better rock movies." Could be a lot better A. Johnson | Upstate NY | 11/23/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Essentially this collection is Greatest hits through 1975 plus the two American top 40 singles from 1983 slapped on the end. If you like Slade, then obviously this collection is very much incomplete but if you use this CD to get into Slade, then you will probably import some of their other Cd's anyway. The CD is only 60 minutes long so there were lots of missed opportunities to include other music released after 1975 or even include some choice album cuts from the early 1970's. Had I a chance to order this again, I would opt for importing one of the more complete greatest hits collections or gone after the box set. Too bad that Slade Cd's are so hard to find in the US. Those comments aside, the music on the CD is terrific." Great No Frills Rock Mr.Hardy | Winter Garden, Florida | 03/14/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had learned about Slade in the early '70's by reading Circus magazine as a kid but never heard them on the radio and couldn't find one of their records. Finally I saw Sladest, bought it and turned all my friends on to it. No big guitar solos, just great fun rock and roll filled with hooks that keep these songs swirling around your brain long after the stereo is turned off. I remember finally seeing them on one of those late night In Concert type of shows and thought they looked very bubblegum with the highest platform boots I had seen. I never liked Quiet Riot and their versions of Slade songs don't have the fun of the originals."
