Pop Shop: Belgium

Belgium TV, circa December 1971
"POPSHOP, was a Belgium TV show that provided pop for the wacky European teenagers of the day.
Six tracks lifted from video tape of the set, the rarity value being placed on Coming Home a Delaney & Bonny track that was at the time a constant in their live set.
Holder introduces the track as being from the soon to be released seminal LP SLADE ALIVE, it never of course appeared on the LP, so it's very handy that we have this live version of it here."
Dave Graham: Slade In England

This Belgium broadcast was recorded in December at the Pop Deux Studios in Brussels and probably broadcast around Xmas 1971. Holder refers to Slade Alive coming out soon. As David states, Coming Home, written by Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett is supposed to feature on the album. Oddly enough, the entire setlist was intended to feature on Slade Alive (as a double album) but Holder only remarks on Coming Home, a track that didn't make the release. A shame it didn't happen because it would have made a superb addition to the album. Most fans would not get to hear this excellent track until Salvo released the 'Live at the BBC' compilation in 2009, but Slade in England made sure the real fans got to hear it.
