Slade Album: “In For a Penny - Rave”

Did you like the "Get Yer Boots On" best of Slade compilation?

Did you want more Slade?

If you answered yes, then "In For A Penny" is meant for you.

Its a collection of B-sides, album cuts, lesser hits, etc. for the people that don't own all of Slades albums, but do own a best of comp and would like a little more.

And to that end, it succeeds very well, the tracks on the collection may not be Slade classics like "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" or "Run Runaway" but they follow the Slade tradition of being big fun stomping rockers and interesting ballads all so trashy and hooky that you can't help but love them.

Its a good buy if you have a best of comp, but if you DON'T have a best of comp, you'll wanna get one before getting this.

If you are looking for a best-of collection by this band, this is the one to get! These tracks are much better than "Get Your Boots On" & the best one to get for any Slade fan; simply can't go wrong here.

The insert says this is a companion piece to Get Yer Boots On. I agree. Every track on here is excellent. GYBO took the hits that charted. These are ones that charted but not as high but are just as good. I can't say which songs are the best because they are all good. My personal favorite is When the Lights are Out. The volume on C'mon C'mon drops out a little. I am not sure if this is intentional but I got over it. If you loved GYBO this album will not disappoint. It gets better with repeated listenings. That is a sure sign of a great album.
