Slade On Stage The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply

The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome was an album by the British glam/hardrock group Slade. It was released December 3, 1983 and reached number 49 in the UK charts, mainly due to the strange choice of the album's title and cover.

It was unlike anything Slade fans had seen before, but all three singles released from it were big sellers. "Run Runaway" was in fact the band's breakthrough into the American market, reaching a healthy #20 on the Billboard charts singles chart. Both "My Oh My" and "Run Runaway" had MTV-friendly videos to help boost sales.

In America, many of the songs from this album were issued, in a different track-order alongside a few additional songs as "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply".
