Crackers-The Christmas Party Album was an album by the British glam/hardrock group Slade. It was released November 18, 1985 and reached number 34 in the UK charts. It contained a load of hits that had been re-recorded, and tracks that had been hits for other bands. Also having two singles released from it helped push sales too.
More of a 'covers' album than a proper studio album, Slade tried to create an LP that had a party atmosphere to it and was value for money. They succeeded, and this album has had numerous re-issues and re-releases over the years under various names, most recently in 1999 as "Slade's Crazee Christmas!". It's 1999 re-release was supposed to coincide with the Millennium.
