Compiled and produced with the help of the group, this collection presents the studio Slade, the in-concert Slade and also the pre-fame Slade; a tight, hard-hitting outfit that cut its teeth on a range of soul, psychedelic, pop and rock covers, while making inroads into writing their own high class material.
The era documented here, 1969 to 1972, witnessed Slade’s transformation from a self-confessed "travelling jukebox" into the nation’s favourite glam rock combo with smash hits like Coz I Luv You and Mama Weer All Crazee Now - and the BBC played an important supporting role in the Slade phenomenon.
