Slayed?  by Slade

The British band Slade in 1972, the year that Slayed? would be released, are at an excellent stage in their career, and this album with the success it would have would simply confirm that Slade was one of the dominant glam rock groups in Great Britain.

The album's success is due to the fact that the band had incorporated in a very "underground" clever way the hard rock sound of the era. Chas Chandler was the producer of the album as well as the band's manager. The album "produced" three main singles with the single Mama Weer All Crazee Now becoming one of the band's greatest hits. In Slayed? there is also a cover of Janis Joplin's Move Over, which was released as a single only in Japan (!)

Slade's third studio album would reach No.1 in the United Kingdom, and the same would happen in Australia. Another unexpected success for the album occurred in Finland, where with the 20,000 copies sold there, it went gold.
