HW: story of a boot

[cjohnson]

       I finally got up off my butt to track down a copy (or three :-) of
       the new Boulder Colorado 95 boot CD, from the same fellow that did
       'Nova Drive'.  Ooops!  I waited much too long, and now these CDs
       **are no longer available**.

       This Boulder show was an audience show recorded direct to MiniDisc
       (therefore DDD).  The quality is above that of the average analog
       tape.  You may have heard one song from this recording on the
       'Corridors of Flame' boot, "Void of Golden Light" I think it was.

       Turns out that the fellow contacted Mr. Drug(ged) Stiff, as he has
       done for the first three CDs, to inform the band what he was doing
       and to offer a free copy.  (I understand that he did this for the
       previous CDs also?)  Only this time, Mr.Sniff requested that he
       *STOP* putting out this CD.

       Being the good chap that this guy is, he immediately ceased to
       produce any further copies.  Any existing copies were already
       reserved, so poor little me goes hungry this time... :-(

       Doug's further response was along the lines of, if the audio
       quality of this boot is so good, perhaps the band itself would like
       to release it.  While I personally have my doubts, such a thing is
       certainly within the realm of reason when it comes to Hawkwind.
       So, Doug and the band are supposedly evaluating their copy of this
       recording to see what they think...

       Those of you who managed to grab a copy of this critter, count
       yourselves lucky (for now).  Those that didn't, place your hopes on
       the band digging the recording enough to release it officially.

       I have no idea what the full run of this boot turned out to be.  My
       guess is around a dozen(?), since the full run of the previous 3
       CDs were each less than 40.
