I got the CD in today from Amazon. It seems the Spotify version was taken from the DVD or TV broadcast performance (below on YT). The CD was recorded at different live performance. It's very apparent, specially with the different piano notes being played to be different, that they are not the same recording. SQ-wise the CD is a class above with a more detailed sound, more forward vocal, slightly wider soundstage, and better timbre. Hard to compare as the recordings and possibly venue/equipment were different.

So much more than a Glam rock band. One of the very best bands from the 70's in my opinion. Its puzzling how you never hear about them. 10 out of 10 for the Alex Harvey band!!
