Get Yer Boots On: The Best of Slade

In the early 1970s, glam rock band Slade dominated the British charts with 17 Top 20 hits, including six at #1. While their star didn’t soar as high in the States, the band wasn’t completely overlooked. Covers of "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" by ’80s rock band Quiet Riot brought Slade renewed interest. Other bands followed suit with covers by groups as disparate as Oasis, The Runaways and Wonderstuff. Get Your Boots On – The Best Of Slade marks the first time this legendary group sees a domestic greatest hits collection.

• Slade had a total of 17 Top 20 hits in the UK.

• Slade’s songs have been covered by everyone from Oasis to the Runaways but none so familiar in the U.S. as Quiet Riot’s hit with "Cum On Feel The Noize" and the hit "Mama Weer All Crazee Now."

• Slade’s own U.S. chart success peaked in 1984 with their album Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply and the Top 40 singles "My, Oh My" and "Run, Runaway."
