It&#8217;s full of stomping anthems, featuring big riffs and even bigger choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slade could do no wrong at the time, and the album duly topped the UK charts for three weeks, achieving silver sales status in its first week and going gold by November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new edition of <em>Sladest<\/em>, due out on 4 November, is a limited edition blue and white splatter vinyl, and there&#8217;s also an expanded deluxe CD reissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LP follows the original 14-track tracklist, including the band\u2019s eight hit singles up to that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It kicks off with the classic <em>Cum On Feel The Noize<\/em>, and includes fellow No 1s <em>Coz I Luv You<\/em>, <em>Take Me Bak &#8216;Ome<\/em>, <em>Mama Weer All Crazee Now<\/em> and <em>Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new expanded CD version now includes 20 songs, including the four extra songs included on the 2011 Salvo remaster and adding two more bonus tracks &#8211; the US 7in edit of <em>Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me<\/em> and <em>Merry Xmas Everybody<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our economy in a similar mess to the way it was when Sladest was originally released in 1973, perhaps it&#8217;s time to hear the noise again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can pre-order
