'''''Recorded Live at a Sloan Party!''''' was a rare album release by [[Sloan (band)|Sloan]]; it was released in the United States in February 1997 as a bonus album to March Records' release of ''[[One Chord to Another]]''.<ref name=havenot>Michael Barclay, Ian A.D. Jack and Jason Schneider, ''[[Have Not Been the Same: The Can-Rock Renaissance 1985-1995]]''. [[ECW Press]]. {{ISBN|978-1-55022-992-9}}. p. 457.</ref>  It was also packaged with initial US pressings of ''One Chord to Another'' through The Enclave label,<ref name=lindsay>Cam Lindsay, [https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/rnwgnb/sloan-interview-2016-20-year-anniversary "Canadian Rock Icons Sloan Talk Commemorating A 20 Year Old Classic in 'One Chord to Another'"]. ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'', April 11, 2016.</ref> and was later released in Japan in a one-disc package with ''One Chord to Another'' on Universal Records.
Although the album is called ''Recorded Live at a Sloan Party!'', and background noises and conversations between the songs suggest that the album was recorded during a party attended by Sloan and friends (including Jennifer Pierce from the band [[Jale (band)|Jale]], and [[Joel Plaskett]]), the four members of Sloan now admit that the album was recorded in a studio.<ref name=havenot/> The background noises were in fact recorded at a party where Sloan and friends were present, at Cafe Mokka in Halifax, but the noises were simply dubbed over the music.<ref name=havenot/>  The gimmick is given away in the middle of the "On the Road Again/Transona Five" medley, where [[Jay Ferguson (Canadian musician)|Jay Ferguson]] "walks outside" and talks to an over-enthusiastic fan in the middle of the song.  Guitarist [[Patrick Pentland]] de-mystified the Party Album on the official site, letting fans know the truth about the studio recordings.
Conceptually, the album is intentionally similar to [[The Beach Boys]]' 1965 album ''[[Beach Boys' Party!]]''.<ref name=havenot/> According to the band, the original idea behind recording the album was that because the US release of ''One Chord to Another'' took place several months after the album's release in Canada, Enclave wanted to package it with bonus material to help sales since they presumed that many of the band's American fans would already have bought the imported Canadian release.<ref name=lindsay/>
In 2016, Sloan released a four-disc 20th anniversary ''One Chord to Another'' box set, featuring ''Recorded Live at a Sloan Party!'' as the third record.<ref>Ken Kelly, "Sloan's sophomore offering was a breakthrough - now a box set". ''[[Times & Transcript]]'', April 9, 2016.</ref> For the release, Sloan released it with new album art similar to that of the Beach Boys record.
