Wall of Hits (video)
Encyclopedia
Wall of Hits is the first compilation of music videos from English rock band Slade
. The compilation was titled after the audio/CD compilation
of the same year. It was released by Polygram Video. The compilation only exists on VHS and is now out of print, never being released onto DVD. All videos from this compilation do exist on the 2005 DVD compilation The Very Best of Slade though. The set features many of Slade's hits however misses tracks such as Cum On Feel the Noize
, Look Wot You Dun
, Take Me Bak 'Ome
, Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me and Get Down and Get With It
. Also, much of the bands 1980s material is missing, most likely due to the band being on the RCA Records label at the time and not Polydor.
Two new singles were released to promote the Wall of Hits CD and VHS. The hit single Radio Wall of Sound has the music video included on the compilation whereas the other single Universe
doesn't, most likely due to the single failing to chart.
