When Slade embarked upon their one and only feature film in 1974, fans and critics alike were expecting something akin to a Glam Rock update of The Beatles A Hard Days Night, released a decade earlier. However, expectations were confounded upon the release of the film. Gritty realism, exposing the mythology of band life in the late 60s was the order of the day, and Slade In Flame has been universally acclaimed as one of the finest rock/pop movies ever made. This set features a pristinely re-mastered DVD of the film transferred from the original negative alongside a re-mastered CD of the original soundtrack album, one of Slades most accomplished and varied recordings. |
