Format:Audio CD
Sladest was released as a vinyl LP by Polydor in 1973. This remastered compilation includes four additional tracks. 'My Friend Stan' and 'My Town' appeared on 'Old New Borrowed And Blue'. 'Hear Me Calling' previously unreleased, while 'Kill em at the Hot Club Tonite'( lyrics 'everyone gets silly,hot blood can't get chilly') have long been part of their repertoire.
Devon born Dave Hill and Don Powell (The Vendors) collared Noddy Holder (Walsall boy) from Steve Brett and the Mavericks. With bass player Jimmy Lea, Slade were formed. A Wolverhampton Band (Dave had moved there in infancy). Being in the right place at the right time with the right connections (Chas Chandler) and with the ability to kick into the starzone, Slade took off from a local following in the 'Black Country' (I'm an old Smethwick man) into the media spotlight. They were and are a breath of fresh air. Noddy Holder and Jim Lea were the main songwriters.
This 18 track release is in a different order chronologically but does include their pre-chart successes 'Wild Winds Are Blowing, 'Pouk Hill', 'Shape of Things To Come'.
The rest is massive chart phenomena. 'Coz I Love You','Cum On Feel The Noise','Goodbye T' Jane', 'Look Wot You Dun' are all examples of the foot stomping head busting sound just when the early 70's seemed dull compared to the 60's. Performance band with costumes suitably outrageous. Dave Hill's 6 inch platforms (he was 5ft 6"), hairstyles. Tremendous showmanship and loyalty as well to drummer Don Powell who had a horrific accident.
Put this on at a party (or any place) and start vibrating! They could also sing ballads 'Everyday' and 'How Does It Feel' (on their greatest hits CD). Excellent sound and cover notes. If you don't own it advise you get it. Everlasting for everyday. A magnificent rock and pop band that needs to be remembered. They have still individually taken their talents further.

Back in the '70's there was a huge demand for something new from Slade, so they cobbled this together from their best tracks so far.
On Sladest here are helpings of bits of their excellent first album Play it Loud, plus a few hits and early classics.
Obsessed fans might prefer the actual early albums, but for a taster this is a great representation of Slade at the height of their Glam Rock fame.

After years of slogging away on the UK live circuit, Slade finally cracked the Top 20 with Get Down & Get With It in June 1971. Coz I Luv You, released the following November became the first of several UK No.1 hits, and just one of more than a dozen Top 20 hit singles throughout the remainder of the decade.
Sladest was originally issued in 1973, as a stop gap release by their record company Polydor, following drummer Don Powell's horrific car crash on July 4 of the same year, in which his fiance Angela Morris was tragically killed.
Sladest contained all of their hits up until this time, and several songs released prior to their breakthrough, (Shape Of Things To Come, Pouk Hill, and One Way Hotel, to name a few).
Sladest is one of this writer's favourite Slade albums - and for anyone (at the time) not familiar with their work, was a terrific introduction to one of THE great bands of the era. More immediately accessible than the raucous Slade Alive, Sladest offered fans and non-fans alike an opportunity to get well into some of the greatest pop songs of the seventies! 4 stars. Kym Jones
