The album is called "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply". I do not own the album, so I don't know anything about the label, etc. The song has received quite a bit of airplay in the last month here in the Boston area. An interesting note: this group is an old group. Sometime in the early 70's they recorded a little song called "Come on Feel the Noise" (I refuse to spell it differently). Along comes 1983 and a new heavy metal band named Quiet Riot does a cover of the song and makes millions. This may have prompted the original artists to come out of retirement (pure speculation on my part). Some people have likened Slade to the fictitious band Spinal Tap (from the movie of almost the same name). Interesting. Let's hear it for the old folks going out and cranking it up.
