Format:Audio CD
Every song on the album can be listened to over and over again. I usually skip from one track to another after about a minute of listening or sometimes as soon as I have heard the first chorus. NOT SO with this album. A real delight from a class act. Noddy Holders' voice has never been replicated by anyone and is never likely to be either. This is the best value CD I have ever purchased.

Slade are one of the most critically under rated rock bands of all time. Six No.1's, three of which entered straight at No.1. They were the first band to do this since the Beatles. Every song on this CD is a classic. A CD which will have everybody screaming along with Noddy on a "crazee" ride down memory lane. They were the original Oasis. The lyrics may have been mispelt and inane (Skweeze me,Pleeze me ?) but boy how we loved them....It's as if they've never been away....

This CD shows us where Glam Rock came from.Not Glam, but Glam Rock.
Marc Bolan started the glam look when he put glitter stars under his eyes on Top Of The Pops in 1971 and the glam look just snowballed from there with the likes of Slade. Sweet and Gary Glitter. T.Rex and Sweets early hits were great pop tunes with the likes of Metal Guru and Blockbuster. But it was after Slades early hits that Bolan and Chinn/Chapman (The guys who wrote the hits for Sweet) turned up the volume listen to 20th Century Boy and The Ballroom Blitz. Even Bowie and Elton got in on the act, from Space Oddity to The Jean Genie. (Bowie) and Your Song to Saturday Nights All Right For Fighting. (Elton) All these guys were I believe Inspired by the success of Slades early run of hits.
So what about this CD?
21 Brilliant songs my only complaint is the omission of Thanks For The Memory. No7 in 1975. But which song do we take off to fit it in?
Maybe All Join Hands?
I cannot talk about all the songs, as I do not have enough room so I will just mention my favourite songs.
Coz I Luv You. Their Frist of six Number ones just a great song.
Take Me Bak Ome. Mamma Weer All Crazee Now. Gudbuy T' Jane. Cum On Feel The Noize and Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me. Glam Rock at it's best.
After these songs Slade changed direction but the songs were still great.
Everyday. A great ballad. Far Far Away, from the film Flame. Maybe just maybe my favourite Slade song. In For A Penny. Their last great 70's single.
So on to the 80's. We'll Bring The House Down. Their great comeback single and first top ten hit for six years. My Oh My. With it's simple but great melody to their last hit Radio Wall Of Sound.
This is truly a great CD and a must for anyone who liked the music of that time.
