Based on a 1936 classic, the film fattens up a Spanish bull’s world but keeps him sweet. Play It Loud (1970) was Slade's first proper LP, not counting the semi-psychedelic release as 'Ambrose Slade.' This is the only record cut during the band's 'skinhead' phase (skinhead in the pre-punk application of the term). Do not expect punk or ska just because the band is pictured on the cover looking somewhat like a.

Contents • • • • • • • • • Background [ ] In 1973, Slade were one of the most popular bands in Britain, having achieved two number one singles - ' and ' - in three months.

Sladest is a comprehensive collection of the group's British hits to date. It provides an unimprovable perspective on their past successes, as well as some of the wildest all-stops-out rock & roll you'll ever hear. 'Cum on Feel the Noize' has the best tune of the batch, 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' is the quintessential rocking anthem, and the series as a whole generated raw excitement paralleled only by the colossal crush of Stones, Who and Small Faces singles of 1965-6.

By my lights it turns out to be the best rocking album of the year.' Commented: 'This includes 'Gudbuy T'Jane' and 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now,' the best cuts on Slayed? Because it compiles the English hits of these Anglopop phenoms.

I take it the reason 'Gudbuy' and 'Crazee' are the best cuts on Sladest as well is that these Anglopop phenoms turned into raving maniacs only recently. Clearly, it's what they were meant to be, and although Slayed? Is less tuneful, I prefer it. You don't ask an air raid siren to play 'Stardust,' or even 'Glad All Over.' ' stated: 'Slade has been one of the top British bands for two years now, but they have yet to break through in this country as a major act.

They have been known primarily as a singles band, with each single an exercise in the controlled wall-of-sound style of rock. Noddy Holder's vocals are frantic, Dave Hill's guitar is loud and full of great riffs, and the group's songs are full of the drive and repetition good rock is made of. Now Warners, on the label's first Slade LP, has made an extremely smart maneuver. Warners has included all of the group's major hit records, which serves the dual purpose of introducing them as a singles band as well as giving them an almost fresh start with the American listening public. This could be the real start of Slade.' In a retrospective review, Paul Tinelli of wrote: 'Falling somewhere between the glam of T.Rex and the hard rock of Nazareth, Slade's finest moments came with arena rockers 'Cum On Feel the Noize,' 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now,' and 'Gudbuy T'Jane,' songs specifically written to be strong live numbers that would get kids up off their seats. Sladest is a 'best-of' collection that includes all of the material that helped the band sell tons of records and fill arenas in the U.K.
