Slayed? Album UK Chart: 1972

Slade's Crazee Christmas Conquest

The week December 3 - 9 December 1972, Slade’s Slayed? entered the Official Albums Chart at No. 5 — the beginning of an unstoppable 25-week run that saw it hit No. 1 for three weeks (January 13, January 27, and February 3, 1973). Produced by Chas Chandler, this glam-rock masterpiece — featuring “Gudbuy T’Jane” and “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” — became Slade’s defining album and one of the biggest sellers of the era.
