Move Over, Let The Good Times Roll, Gudbuy Gudbuy, Darling Be Home Soon, Keep On Rockin'.
These sessions do not account for all the songs known to have been recorded at the BBC.
Other songs have surfaced on bootlegs that are almost certainly from Slade's BBC sessions: Coloured Rain,
Wild Winds Are Blowing,
See Us Here,
Gudbuy T' Jane,
Know Who You Are,
Nights In White Satin,
Getting Better,
Coming Home,
This Is The Season (see covers page)
A live concert was recorded on 17th August 1972 by the BBC at Paris Studios.
A couple of bootleg CD's of this surfaced.
The 'Watch out here cum t'nutz' CD was far superior to the 'Weer all crazee now' CD (which omitted dialogue) but has been superceded by the Salvo Live at the BBC set. The tracklisting from show:
Hear me calling,
In like a shot from my gun,
Look wot you dun,
Keep on rockin' ,
Move over,
Mama weer all crazee now,
Lady be good,
Coz I luv you,
Take me bak 'ome,
Get down and get with it,
Good golly Miss Molly
It would be incorrect not to mention the two programmes in the BBC's 'Insight' series on Radio 1, which featured a one hour documentary about Slade's current tour entitled 'Six days on the road' and also a broadcast of an hour's worth of highlights from their 1975 London New Victoria Theatre concert, from the 'Thanks for the memory' tour.
SLADE LIVE IN CONCERT AT LEICESTER UNIVERSITY, 11th DECEMBER 1980,
BROADCAST LIVE ON BBC RADIO 1:
We gonna rock ya intro + Dizzy Mama,
When Im dancin' ,
Take me bak 'ome,
Wheels ain't comin' down,
Everyday / Gudbuy T' Jane,
You'll never walk alone,
Merry Xmas everybody.
The last song (Merry Xmas everybody) was suddenly interrupted by a power cut just a few bars from the end.
The power was not restored and therefore we didn't get the planned Mama weer all crazee now.
Not broadcast in stereo.
RICHARD SKINNER SHOW, BBC RADIO 1, February 1981 :
Unique session recordings of :
a) When I'm dancin',
b) Dizzy mama,
c) Night starvation,
d) Wheels ain't coming down.
It should be noted that tracks c and d are virtually indistinguishable from the regular release versions.
Not broadcast in stereo.
