Slade Alive! (Reissue)

BMG
Vinyl LP

Slade Alive! is the first live album released by the British rock band Slade.

Since its release, the album has gained recognition as one of the greatest live albums of all time. After the success of Slade singles Get Down and Get With It, Coz I Luv You and Look Wot You Dun, Slade set out to capture their live sound on record.

Now, to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the band's dramatic breakthrough, a very special Art Of The Album deluxe edition of that incredible album will be released. Featuring new sleevenotes within both the CD and LP formats recalling the story of the band's conception and the album's creation.

Comprehensively researched and written by renowned music journalist Chris Ingham, these new sleevenotes cover in-depth the story of the album & the period in which it was written & recorded, the key players in its creation, the craft and instrumentation, the impact upon release and its legacy 45 years later. The booklet is accompanied by photos from the archive of Barry Plummer who was there at the time, documenting the band onstage as they recorded this seminal masterpiece.
