Editorial Reviews

2006 digitally remastered reissue of this 1972 album by the British Glam/Rock superstars featuring five bonus tracks: 'My Life Is Natural', 'Candidate', 'Wonderin' Y', 'Man Who Speeks Evil' and 'Slade Talk To Melanie Readers'. By the time that the 'Slayed?' album arrived in September 1972, Slade had scored their third British No.1 single with 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now', which was included on side two of the LP. 'Slayed?' has been called "music to wreck concert halls to", and it's a description that few familiar with it would choose to refute. Aside from 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' and 'Gudbuy T'Jane', the latter a No. two hit in November '72, it was swelled by self-penned nuggets like 'How D'You Ride' and 'The Whole World's Goin' Crazee', plus covers of Janis Joplin's 'Move Over' and 'Let The Good Times Roll' by Shirley Goodman & Leonard Lee, both of which were regulars in their live repertoire. New Musical Express hailed 'Slayed?' as "one of the greatest rock 'n' roll releases ever," and it remains one of the band's best-loved long players. Crank up the volume and go crazee!. Slavo.

5.0 out of 5 stars REMASTERED AT LAST, October 23, 2006

This review is from: Slayed? (Audio CD)

For the first time ever remastered and re-released with 4 bonus tracks (4 singles b-sides appear on CD for the first time ever on official release. The correct label is SALVO (not SLAVO) which is a new British label and the batch of three Slade's re-releases is the first CDs this label ever released. Sound quality is better than on old regular issue of this famous 1972 album released on CD way back in 1991 on Polydor. Contains a very beautiful and informative booklet with lots of unseen colour snaps including covers of their singles released in different countries and nice essay written by Classic Rock Magazine man Dave Ling. Highly recommended for all Slade fans. You may at last replace your old CD with this one ! The slipcase also inserted into additional paper jacket wich adds nothing to the release itself becauce it exactly repeats what is already shown in the booklet. From the other hand if somebody wants this album in paper jacket as mini-LP version try to find this only in Russia. I now own both versions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Remastered Finally!!, February 4, 2009

This release was so poorly remastered originally you could not hear anything. This re-mastered release is long overdue. You can finally hear a band that was not usually done justice in the studio. Their versions of "Look At Last Nite", "Gudbye T'Jane", "The Whole World's Goin' Crazee", and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" are wonderful, as well as covers of the Janis Joplin song "Move Over", and "Let the Good Times Roll". Enjoy these screamers loud!!!

I've owned this since was first released. It is just really FUN rock and roll music. Very energizing and contagious in terms of creating a good mood. Did you ever want to listen to a band just for fun? Well, Slade were really a band of Rock and Roll Rogues and they'll kill you with their straight ahead rock, simple but tasty guitar solos, and Noddy's great sandpaper iron lunged voice. Dare I say...Party Music? I like How to you ride, Were All Crazee Now, G'bye to Jane, and the second cut "we all get our kicks playing in a rock and roll band." Great lyrics abound such as "I got a rock and roll reputation I got to try alot of new things today" "you know I turned my first car over" "don't you think it's funny we're only in it for the money?" These guys will have you laughin and smilin. Every song on the album is a winner and the stand out tracks out number the very good ones. Lotsa chrunchy guitar. Yum!
