Slade – The Artist
Slade are an English rock band formed in Walsall in 1966. They rose to prominence during the glam rock era in the early 1970s, achieving 17 consecutive top 20 hits and six number ones on the UK Singles Chart. The British Hit Singles & Albums names them the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one; all six of the band’s chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. As of 2006, total UK sales stand at 6,520,171, and their best-selling single, “Merry Xmas Everybody”, has sold in excess of one million copies. According to the 1999 BBC documentary It’s Slade, the band have sold over 50 million records worldwide.
Mama Weer All Crazee Now – The Song
‘Mama Weer All Crazee Now’ is a song by the British rock band Slade, released in 1972 as the lead single from their third studio album Slayed? It was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by Chas Chandler. It reached No. 1 in the UK, giving the band their third number one single, and remained in the charts for ten weeks. “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” was the first tune Lea wrote entirely on his own. Holder got the idea for the lyrics at the band’s concert at Wembley Arena in London. After the show, he looked at the remains of the auditorium’s smashed seating and thought “Christ, everyone must have been crazy tonight.” The song was originally titled “My My We’re All Crazy Now”.
The Thumbs Up – The Shape
This record has been cut into the silhouette of a thumbs up but done horizontally as inspired by the band who often did this during their live acts and was on the cover of their ‘Slayed’ album with each letter of the band written on a finger and thumb.
