HW: MP3s of _Kings of Speed, Lords of Light_ bootleg CD

[Paul Mather]

Here's the next installment of MP3s made from available bootleg CDs.
Since BOC went last time, it's Hawkwind's turn this time. :-)

The source for the current crop of nine MP3s is the Hawkwind bootleg
live CD, _Kings of Speed, Lords of Light_.  I converted the tracks
exactly as they came off the CD: no editing, polishing, etc.  (You get
what you pay for.:)  I've compressed at 128 KBit/s bitrate, like before,
using l3enc V2.00 on a Sun Sparc Ultra, so the sound quality is close to
the original CD.  (But, again, if anyone knows of any better freeware/
shareware MPEG audio compressors for Unix, let me know!)

Does anyone know for sure where this gig is from?  The back of the CD
says Detroit, USA, but I dimly recall someone on here saying it's from
Bochum, Germany.  Can anyone supply the date and venue?

The files can be obtained via anonymous ftp from gromit.dlib.vt.edu, in
directory /pub/boc-l/koslol (ftp://gromit.dlib.vt.edu/pub/boc-l/koslol/).
Remember to transfer these in binary mode.  Also, once again, you are
welcome to copy these files, but please do not link to them within WWW
pages, as I don't want them to show up on search engines.

Below is the message file for the directory:
