Cum On Feel The Hitz: The Best Of Slade collects more than 40 tracks across two discs from the Wolverhampton band, including 16 Top 10 hits released between 1970 and 1984. Six of them - the uniquely-spelled "Coz I Luv You," "Take Me Bak 'Ome," "Mama Weer All Crazee Now," "Cum On Feel The Noize," "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me" and the holiday perennial "Merry Xmas Everybody" - all topped the chart, becoming glam rock classics along the way. (While only latter-day singles like "My Oh My" and "Run Runaway" reached the Top 40 of the Billboard charts here in America, "Noize" was covered by American rockers Quiet Riot in 1983 and became a Top 5 hit in the States.) Cum On Feel The Hitz will be available in several formats: the 2CD set featuring 43 original singles; a double LP featuring 24 of those tracks in mostly chronological order (including everything on the first disc of the 2CD set), and North America-exclusive 1CD and 1LP cutdowns of each. (The make-up of the latter two sets has yet to be confirmed, but the standard double CD or vinyl are available to pre-order below.)
