Inside Slade: The Singles 1971-1991 A Critical Review (2005)

This is the long awaited independent critical review of the 21 hit singles produced by Slade during the glory years with Noddy Holder at the microphone. Featuring rare archive footage of the band in performance and the incisive views of a leading team of music critics and musicians, this is the definitive re-assessment of all of the chart hit singles from the golden age of Slade. Features rare interviews and archive footage of performances of Get Down and Get with It, Coz I Luv You, Look Wot You Dun, Gudbye T'Jane, Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Merry Xmas Everybody, Run Run Away, We'll Bring The House Down, and many more.

Could Have Done So Much More

Whilst I enjoyed the insight into Slade, I am left a little dissapointed, that the producers could have done more with this product. No song is played in its entirity, and we listen to half a dozen so called critics disect the Slade singles. No sound clips of TAK ME BAK 'OME, CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE and 'EVERYDAY' The critics seem to omit the issue of Slade deviating from their foot stomping patch by making a critically acclaimed film (Flame). Also very little from the Band themselves as far as interviews go. But still at least some recognition for the many hours of joy they brought me in my youth. For the fans only, for those wanting to know more about Slade... you had to be there. October 19, 2005

Very dissapointing .Where are all the complete film clips of there singles.I think the promo for this is very misleading August 18, 2005

A mediocre documentary with little music

Those expecting full song videos and interviews with Slade band members will be disappointed. There are brief concert and television clips interspersed with short interview clips with music critics and other band members commenting on Slade songs and offering some insight into their musical style. It does get across the band's impact on rock music of the 70's and big Slade fans will want this DVD. The DTS and 5.1 soundtrack is ultimately a waste since music is at a minimum on this DVD.
