Slade – Crackers - The Slade Christmas Party Album

Released on 18 November 1985 and reached No. 34 in the UK charts. It was certified Gold by the BPI that same month.

Following the release of the band's 1985 studio album 'Rogues Gallery', the band were approached by Telstar to create a Christmas-related party album. The album included cover versions of "Let's Dance", "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", "Hi Ho Silver Lining", "Let's Have a Party!", "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and "Auld Lang Syne/You'll Never Walk Alone". The band re-recorded their own past hits "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Get Down and Get with It". The remaining eight tracks were previously recorded songs from the band's catalogue, including the new single "Do You Believe in Miracles". The album was a success in the UK, where it reached No. 34 and was certified Gold. The later 1999 release 'Slade's Crazee Christmas' would chart several times on the UK Budget Albums Chart between 2001-05.
