Helmed by outrageous frontman Noddy Holder, the group scored 21 hit singles all told, 11 of them during the four-year span of 1971-74. This critical survey traces the history of the flamboyant group, examining the glory days from the perspective of leading music critics and musicians, who reassess this seminal work. In addition to rare archive footage and interviews, live performances of such tracks as "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," and "We'll Bring the House Down," prove why Slade has always rocked, and still does.
