2005 greatest hits album by Slade

Dave Thompson of AllMusic commented: "The Very Best of... Slade effectively renders every past Slade hits collection redundant, as remastered sound and a sharp eye for all the band`s U.K. chart entries serve up a peerless examination of what remains one of British rock`s most flawless careers. No matter that the hits went so badly off the boil around 1975-1976 - still, three-quarters of disc one is nonstop solid gold and the remainder of the set isn`t far behind, as Slade`s mid-`80s renaissance delivers further smashes "My Oh My" and "Run Run Away." Which would be hits enough for anybody, but the fun doesn`t end there. A bonus second disc then digs into the darker recesses of the Top 75 to pull out the band`s lesser successes. It`s not a complete guide to Slade on 45, but it comes close enough."[4]
