Slade-Sladest (1973)

Slade are perhaps the greatest Glam Rock band in history, experts in making great rock hymns, ideal for chanting in the British football fields of the 70's, they managed to place 13 singles in the Top 10 between 1971 and 1975 .
Its beginnings date back to the late 1960s, when Chas Chandler, a former bassist for The Animals, would discover the group in one of the London gambling dens where the group, which at the time was called Ambrose Slade, performed.
The band after signing for the Polydor label publishes their first two albums "Beginnings" (69) and "Play it Loud" (70) with which they manage to enter the charts with the songs "Coz I luv You" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now "
Little by little, the band is making a name for itself in the British music market with an aggressive, low-key rock style, but with great doses of humor and catchy songs.
"Slayed?" published in 1972, it consecrates them definitively managing to reach number one, thanks to songs like "Skweeze Me", "Pleeze Me" or "Merry Xmas Everybody".
A year later the compilation "Sladest" and the single "Cum on Feel the noize" put them back in the top positions of the British Charts.
In the successive three years they published other albums that managed to sneak into the top positions as "Slade in Flame" (74), gradually losing interest of the public in fervor for other styles more in vogue in the middle of the decade.
Years later, the new generations of Heavy groups rediscovered the potential of Slade, covering their songs like Quiet Riot with their album "Metal Health" (83) and the song "Cum On feel the noize" that will catapult them to the first place on the Billboard with some sales that exceeded five million copies.
