It's a no frills live album with almost only covers (but done in inimitable Slade style), it sounds like a club gig with local heroes returning after they have honed their skills on a zillion gigs. This particular rendition of a Loving Spoonful chestnut is not from the Alive! album, but the song itself is featured there as well in a very similar version.
