Slade: Not As Crazee As Wee Thought
Kris DiLorenzo, Good Times, 26 August 1975
WHATEVER HAPPENED to Slade, you Lawn Guyland boogie freaks may have asked yourselves lately. The answer is: Nothing more gold records, more #1 songs on the British charts. Basically, the Wolverhampton quartet is still the old rip-roaring tear-the-house-down get crazee primo boogie band in England.
