Greatest Hits

Product Information

A bonus second disc then digs into the darker recesses of the Top 75 to pull out the band's lesser successes. Released in May 1971, it soared to No 16 in the UK charts, giving the band their first of what would be 17 consecutive Top 20 hits. No matter that the hits went so badly off the boil around 1975-1976 - still, three-quarters of disc one is nonstop solid gold and the remainder of the set isn't far behind, as Slade's mid-'80s renaissance delivers further smashes "My Oh My" and "Run Run Away. The discography of Slade, an English rock band, consists of fifteen studio albums, fifty seven singles, four live albums, and twelve compilation albums.

Although it’s still very much a Slade record, it sees the band tackle a new, more mature sound, with Noddy singing rather than shouting his way through some surprisingly insightful lyrics. The mid-1970s marked the start of Slade’s commercial decline, but they still had a few more tricks up their sleeve before they went out.

When their debut album sunk without trace, they started to look for ways to commit their onstage magic to tape.

All tracks are written by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea except "Get Down and Get with It" by Bobby Marchan, "Look Wot You Dun" by Holder, Lea and Don Powell, and "Radio Wall of Sound" by Lea No. Released in 1973 against a backdrop of economic hardship and general bleakness, it offered a few minutes of glorious, lighthearted fun. They did it with Get Down And Get With It, a song they’d been driving the crowds wild with for years. It’s a sweeter, subtler affair than the big anthems they’d later become known for, but it still rocks. In addition, the band's 1972 Set of Six for Granada TV is included, alongside an additional number of other clips.This single did not enter the UK Singles Chart, but did reach number three in the UK Star Breakers Chart. If you’ve never been able to get past Noddy’s fondness for tartan and Dave Hill’s taste in hairstyles, cum on feel the hits as we count down the 10 best Slade songs of all time. They ended up becoming one of the biggest acts of the 1970s, selling more singles than any other band, helping shape an entire genre, and becoming a major influence on countless others.
