HW: Good Deal?

[Craig A. Shipley]

I seem to remember traffic "way-back-when" that this is an official release, but more like a fan-club effort. The band gave official permission to allow the release but I don't think that they had any real hand in the engineering and/or
the release. Many complaints about the very narrow stereo field (damn-near mono) is another thing that I remember about this one. Anyone with more up-to-date brain storage than my '56-era technology?

obCDPlayer: TONTO's Expanding Head Band / TONTO Rides Again (yes that TONTO, the original polyphonic analog synthesizer ensemble! The original "Zero Time" release, plus extra tracks! Groovy, man! Where's my lava lamp???)

don't think so - rather semi official instead - like the Hawklords Live?

*I* don't count it as an Main Release, because it took too long time between
recording and release - 19 months - and Main Releases for me is when
somebody release something new, something *current*.
and I'm not too sure the Hawks was involved in this US release either...

but both items is still too good for being ranked along with fellows like
Junkie Yuri and the Earlie Daze.
