- Slade_Smashes! abstract "Slade Smashes was a compilation album by the British glam/hard rock group Slade. It was released 1 November 1980 and reached number 21 on the UK charts.The album was issued in the wake of the band's new-found success following their appearance at the annual Reading Festival, filling in for Ozzy Osbourne. The album featured most of the band's big hits from their early and mid 1970s heyday in the UK as well as less successful tracks from the band's "down period" in the late 1970s. This collection, alongside the band's subsequent release We'll Bring the House Down, further cemented Slade's comeback in the UK and Europe (and shortly afterwards, newfound success in the United States).The compilation was created by Polydor and did not feature much input from the actual band. According to the Slade January–February 1981 fan club magazine, Polydor spent £250,000 on promotion for the compilation.The album was certified UK Gold by BPI in December 1980, selling 200,000 copies.The album peaked at No. 36 for 1980 on rateyourmusic and #4847 overall albums.In a 1980 fan club interview, Noddy Holder was asked why Polydor were releasing a compilation now. "It's not been the Reading Festival that has prompted the release of the Hits album – they had already made plans to release the album before we decided to do the show."In a November 1980 Sounds magazine interview, Holder was asked if he was at all depressed at this preoccupation with past glories? Holder replied "Depressed? No. This compilation will be great for the fans, a chance to get all the hits on one record. But we don't relate to them in the same way any more, the way we play them now is bugger all like the records anyway."The album was released because all Slade's singles were deleted except for "Merry Xmas Everybody".Some songs on the album were slightly remixed in the studio to give a more "1980's feel".In December 1984, guitarist Dave Hill had sold his personal UK Gold Disc award for 250,000 sales of "Slade Smashes!" to charity, which sold for a total of £385 at the time. This was shown on the UK show Saturday Starship.".
