What looks good on paper...

"Such a promising title for the Slade fans! Very nice packaging, with the "remastered" stamp all over it... Well, this promised treasure trove is so disappointing I just can't find the right words: my vinyl single collection could have been useful to the making of this compilation, since all the tracks have been remastered from the original b sides of the singles issued in the seventies, with hiss, pops, scratches and so on. How can such a famous group be so ill served by a record company? Beware record buyers, keep playing your old 45s or stick to the bootleg CDs of these tracks, at least some of them are taken from tapes and not from your father's old singles straight from that old box in your basement.
PS: the lonely one star is for the packaging: it's the only reward the customer gets from this double disappointment"
A classic collection... if you don't intend to buy the new r

"Normally I don't write these reviews, but when I saw this only had one review and that it was rated one star I had to fix that. Unlike the other review the audio quality on my copy was great. All these songs are great toe tappin', head banging, hard rock fun. Despite My love for this cd, I however do not recomend this if you own or intend to buy the new remasters for the rest of Slade's albums. There is nothing here that is not included in the new remastered albums, but if you own the old editions with no bonus tracks this is a must buy."
