From CR

Flame in Classic Rock

The October issue of Classic Rock had a full page article on Flame in which Noddy tells a bit about the story behind the film. CR has a list of the 50 greatest rock movies and Flame makes it to no. 42, which I find a bit unfair when you see what kinds of movies that are rated better than Flame. Oh well…. CR also has a ”49 best soundtrack albums”-list and here Slade in Flame makes it to no. 18. It gets a very good review and CR’s ”must hear”-track from the album is So Far, So Good.
