Slade – Sladest

Slade – Sladest

A high-energy compilation capturing the raw, riotous rise of one of Britain’s most iconic glam rock bands, Sladest showcases the explosive early hits of Slade at their peak of chart domination and live-wire attitude. Released in 1973, this collection gathers the band’s most defining singles from their breakthrough era, a time when shout-along choruses, stomp-and-clap rhythms, and working-class swagger defined the UK rock landscape.

Built around unforgettable anthems and unmistakable hooks, Sladest captures the band’s signature sound: loud, unpolished, and irresistibly immediate. From the euphoric chaos of “Cum On Feel the Noize” to the enduring chant-along power of “Mama Weer All Crazee Now,” the album delivers a concentrated dose of glam rock energy that helped define a generation of British music.

Elsewhere, tracks like “Gudbuy T’Jane” and “Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me” showcase the band’s knack for playful wordplay and infectious riffs, while earlier cuts such as “Coz I Luv You” and “Take Me Bak ’Ome” highlight their transition from bluesy rock origins into full-blown glam spectacle. Even deeper cuts like “Look Wot You Dun” and “Know Who You Are” reinforce the band’s versatility beneath the larger-than-life image.

A defining compilation of the glam rock era, Sladest remains a loud, proud, and endlessly fun snapshot of a band built for maximum volume and maximum impact.
