FEEL THE NOIZE SLADE REMASTERED Series.
LIVE AT THE BBC (deleted & out of print 2009 UK 36-track digitally remastered 2-CD set) is a live compilation album by the British rock band Slade. It was released by Salvo on 28th September 2009 and features two discs of material recorded by the band live at the BBC. The first disc comprises songs recorded for various BBC sessions between 1969–72, along with Radio One jingles recorded in 1973–74. The second disc is a twelve-song set recorded live at the Paris Theatre, London, in August 1972. Having been one of the million-odd people that helped send their Cum On Feel The Noize single straight to Number One on its first week of release - almost unheard of back in 1973 - by nicking ten bob from my mum’s purse in order to buy it, I can surely be forgiven for suggesting that back then there were good time Top Of The Pops bands, of which Slade were the undoubted masters, and then there were ’serious’ artists like yer Purples and Sabbaths. A pity, because as this marvellous two-CD collection of previously unreleased tracks makes plain, Slade were not only capable of producing top-drawer album material, they were easily one of the best live bands this country - or any other - has been lucky enough to call their own.
PERSONNEL: Noddy Holder – lead vocals, rhythm guitar; Jim Lea – bass, violin, backing vocals; Dave Hill – lead guitar, backing vocals; Don Powell – drums.
The era documented here, 1969 to 1972, witnessed Slade's transformation from a self-confessed travelling rock 'n' soul jukebox into the nation's favourite glam rock combo. And just as it had helped to break The Beatles and many other bands, the BBC played a vital supporting role in Slade's rise to the top. Compiled and produced with the help of the group, this fantastic collection of rare and largely unissued material fleshes that out by presenting not only the studio Slade and the in-concert Slade, but the pre-fame Slade; a tight, hard-hitting combo that cut its teeth on a range of soul, psychedelic, pop and rock covers, while making tentative and highly successful inroads into writing their own material. Housed in a double fold-out digipak complete with a 24-page picture book containing previously unseen photographs plus a comprehensive overview and track-by-track notes by Mojo's Mark Paytress featuring extensive comments from the band. The FIRST CD comprises 20 tracks from Slade’s pre-fame days when they relied mainly on cover versions. Not just any covers though, but tasteful - not a word usually associated with Slade but fully justified here - versions of songs by estimable artists. The best of the bunch here include impressive readings of Delaney & Bonnie (Coming Home), Moby Grape (Omaha), Janis Joplin (Move Over), Fairport Convention (It’s Alright Ma, It’s Only Witchcraft) and of course, Little Richard with the band’s apocalyptic take on Get Down With It, recorded in session here for Stuart Henry’s 1971 show and one of the best balls-out rock tracks Led Zeppelin never recorded. The SECOND disc is a 12-track recording of their live 1972 show from the BBC’s Paris Theatre in London’s Lower Regent Street and includes all their hits up until then - from Coz I Luv You to Mama Weer All Crazee Now - as well as, delightfully, their instrumental cover of Gershwin’s Lady Be Good, affording Jim Lea the opportunity to whip his fiddle out, if you’ll pardon the unfortunate mental image. Even the specially recorded radio jingles are pretty ace - from the days when Radio 1 could still be considered a place where "we’re all having fun". An excellent 24 page book with notes from the band members completes this eye-opening package.
