Noddy Holder (guitar and vocals) Jim Lea (bass, violin and keyboards) Dave Hill (lead guitar and glitter) and Don Powell (drums) sold an incredible 50 million records in the seventies, scoring 17 top 20 hits, six number one singles (they were the first group since The Beatles to score three straight number ones on the day of release) and notched 33 top 30 hits from Get Down And Get With It in 1971 to Radio Wall of Sound in l991, based upon their own compositions and a successful live formula of stomp and deliver. Yet they also remain one of the most astonishingly underestimated rock bands of all time as much of Slade s musical depth and performance was masked by their flamboyant image. It is time now to not just look wot they dun but to give credit for what you can hear they dun on this comprehensive retrospective and see with your own ears how significant they really were. Frequently described as the missing link between the The Beatles and Oasis, Slade had a wide-ranging influence on rock music and there is much more to them than meets the eye. This anthology is the first really comprehensive collection to emphasise the point. The four CDs cover all Slade s hits plus key album tracks, rare B sides and recordings from early in their 25 year life-span. This is the definitive overview of Slade s music, enabling us to appreciate the depth and versatility of a band who justly get nominated every year for a life time achievement award - something which surely someone will soon realise is long overdue. Let the Gud times roll!

A must for Slade fans
As a teenager in the seventies living in the midlands, Slade were my favorite band. I had most of the singles and LPs full of scratches and a few warped I have not played them for many a year so had forgot a lot of the songs. I have a half hour drive to work and back and decided to buy this box set hopefully to enjoy reminiscing. Boy was I glad , it is brilliant, it completely took me back to my youth I found myself singing at the top of my voice. Also a few tracks i had not heard before. The box set is in chronological order so it leads you through your life as a Slade fan .

A trip down memory lane. Great band.
This collection has all the notable hits, and some less well known tracks from their later years away from the spotlight.

Slayed by a brilliant box set
Well the Slade Box certainly brought this house down. Those rougues Don, Jim, Noddy and Dave got me through my youth, and this excellent four CD anthology has arrived in time to keep my youthfulness going for many more years to come. I for one got down and got with it and felt the noize coz I luv them. Go and buy this amazing Kamikaze wall of sound now.One thing did confuse me though. I bought a copy for me and a few weeks later ordered a copy for my brother, and although the content and price were the same it came in a smaller box with smaller booklet.

Très bien
Excellent son, mais dommage qu'il faille acheter un quadruple CD pour disposer de tous leurs principaux tubes remasterisés. Car cette Box fait la part trop belle aux titres postérieurs à 1976 et 3CD auraient suffi. Dommage aussi que "Let the Rock Roll Out of Control" ait été oublié.

The Slade Box.
Buen box set, sencillo en cuanto a empaque (probablemente la razón de su precio contenido) pero un remaster necesario y a la altura de otros realizados por Salvo (como el de Nazareth por ejemplo), repleto de temazos y más. Recomendado.

ブリティッシュ・ポップなあなたに
クワイエット・ライオットからの流れでスレイドを聴く方もあると思います。HR/HMの流れで。あるいは，KISSのジーン・シモンズに興味を持った方とか。どちらかというと，ハードロックという流れで考えない方が良いかも。むしろ，ブリティッシュ・ポップと考えた方がイメージが掴みやすいです。ビートルズとか，アニマルズとか，そういう流れの中にある感じかな。それにしても，スレイド。いいですよ。非常にシンプルで，タイトで，日本でいう「昭和」の音がする。ベースラインがホワイトスネイクのような感じもするし。ほんと，「昭和」のハードロックの香りがたっぷりです。この4枚組でも十分満足できますが，ここから，個別のアルバムに行くも良し。いいわあ・・・・
