Customer Reviews
Bizarre and hilarious
Not everyone is going to like this album. You have to put aside all your expectations, drink lots of xmas lager and jump around to Slade covering such classics as The Okey Cokey and slaughtering Do They Know It's Christmas.
The versions of Cum on feel the Noize and Mery Xmas Everybody are 'live', and alot faster than the singles. Whether this bothers you or not will depend on how drunk you are.
I gave this album 5-stars because it's such great fun. And because there are bonuses of new songs like Here's to the New Year, which has a great melody, and somehow manages to combine the melody of Slade's hit Thanks fir the Memory with the arrangement of The Strangler's Golden Brown.
Where have the others gone?
I have this on vinyl but, whilst I enjoyed the pristine CD quality of my new copy, I was disappointed that 5 tracks on the vinyl LP are missing from the CD. I've got the rest of the tracks on CD but that's not the point. Why re-issue an album and reduce the content. Incidentally, the full 16 tracks WOULD fit on one CD.
THE CHRISTMAS PARTY ALBUM
Slade were originally offered a very good deal to record this album by the Telstar label. The issue reviewed here contains 11 tracks and features a few Christmas songs given the immense Slade treatment and in the context of a Christmas party album, even the Slade version of the Okey Cokey actually makes perfect sense.
The party songs are REAL party songs. Slade sound like they are actually having a good time in the studio. The importance of this reissue is that it makes a few songs available on CD for the very first time, including new versions of 'Cum on feel the noize' and 'Get down and get with it' .
The re-mastering gives the sound a bit of extra clout, too.
