Quickly following 'Look Wot You Dun', Take Me Bak 'Ome, for many Slade fans was the record that finally sealed what was to become a life long affiliation with the band.

'Bak 'Ome was the ballziest brashest sound yet to come from the now flowing pens of messrs Holder and Lea, and just hearing it on the radio once was enough to have the record buying public at large rushing out to purchase a copy. The single bludgeoned it's way to the top of the charts to become the bands second number one single in the space of six months'

According to Slade drummer Don Powell it had been written in an attempt to sound like the Rolling Stones, it never of course sounded like the Stones. THIS WAS SLADE, loud, brash and arrogant with an excitement on record still being strived for by lesser bands like the Sweet, who's songwriters, Chinn and Chapman looked on enviously as Slade swept all before them.

A plethora of Slade copyists came along as every major record company began searching for their own 'Slade' including 'Geordie', perhaps the most blatant of them all.

Slade were however still regarded as a novelty singles band by the broadsheet music press of the day, but an appearance at the Great Western rock festival in Lincoln changed all of that as the band blew every other off stage and 'Bak 'Ome ' reached the top slot the following tuesday.

The B side was yet another track penned by Lea and Powell, 'Wonderin 'Y' is strangley lauded by many fans but is probably the weakest B side to date.
