Do we still do it

"this album is from an era when even slade b-sides were excellent. 'do we still do it' has to be one of their best songs ever, and it didn't even make a single release! that's how much they were on a roll at this time.i have all the slade albums, and along with play it loud and slade alive this is a fave."
Do We Still Do It

"Slade set the standard for big arena rock. Their stage show was awesome. I loved it when the lights were out except for a spot light on the lead singers hat. Its mirrors shot beams through out the arena. Super Yobs space man image predated the Kiss concept. Kiss later copied the Slade formula and stepped it up a notch. I saw Slade in Louisville Ky. many years ago. To this day I still hear the sound check where the roadie kept saying "turn it up" over the lead mike. He finally screamed "turn it up!" I never heard a louder more full lead vocal to this day. My favorite song from this album is "Do We Still Do It." It is the ultimate rock song. It hasnt been surpassed by any band in 30 years. Everyday and other great songs fill out this one of a kind album."
One of the very best

"I've heard all Slade albums and this is one of my favorites. Really great album. Get it - you will never regret it if you are a Slade fan. Just one song "Everyday" is enough to make this album worth buying."
"My Town" - great Slade B-side
Paul Caporino | Chicago USA | 01/11/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
""My Town" is a great Slade B-side that's been included on this CD - the original A-side "My Friend Stan" is a charming piano-driven number (if the Kinks were from Wolverhampton they might have sounded like that), but "My Town" is Slade doing what they're known for best - a hard-rocking singalong tune."
Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet
Clark Paull | Murder City | 05/23/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It's hard to believe four guys as homely as Slade made such a beautiful noise, but the band was on some sort of roll in England when this was originally released nearly 30 years ago. The band's music, like that of The Jam and, to a certain degree Oasis, never really seemed to catch on in the States like it did across the pond. Entitled "Stomp Your Hands Clap Your Feet" when released stateside, it's the perfect companion to the hits collection "Sladest." From top to bottom, this has to be their "masterpiece" (if you can use that term to describe a band only concerned with having a good time), and it contains three of their best (and largely unknown) songs in "Do We Still Do It," "When The Lights Are Out," and "How Can It Be." Full of the goodtime, foot stompin' dependable boogie we've come to expect from Noddy Holder and Co. and the last great album they released before once again making a big push to be noticed in the U.S. in the late 1980's. You could find a lot worse ways to spend 30 minutes."
