Hawkwind covers all?

[Allan T Grohe Jr]

Just to be sure that people realize/recall that the covers project was
a large, group effort, here's my (sketchy) recollection of it.

Dave Berry and I made copies of the tapes for people located in the
UK/rest of world and in the USA.  Everyone sent us copies of the tapes,
and from them we compiled the master tapes.  Chuck Johnson (I think?)
made the tape sleeves, and Paul Ward (again, not sure?) provided the
web space for everyone to check out the designs.  I don't recall if
Chuck had created the art, or if it was from one of Tim's old T shirt
designs.  About 15 or so BOC-l members ended up contributing
covers--from one song to an entire tape's worth.

As for a 5th tape, well, just how much new stuff is there?  It sounds
like we're only up to (at most),  a new side of material...

Allan.

Hi! It's a 4 cassette set compiled by some veteran BOC-L'ers of Hawkwind
covers  of varying quality - overall an essential little archive and
signpost to the weird and woolly world of way out strange and essential
bands from all over the world - ranging from superstars like Monster
Magnet
to aussie unknown poseurs The Australian Hawklords! :) I think I
purchased
mine from Dave Berry in UK but I've no idea if this "project" is still
active? They are cheap, covering only the cost of the cassettes &
postage
so it's 100% sunshine blessed altruism from our beloved worldwide
listmember brothers and sisters in arms!
