HW: more smoke to disappear in ~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~

[DASLUD at AOL.COM]

when the cd-set of the weird tapes was being discussed, i mentioned i'd
acquired the software with which i could , for instance, "remix" audience
tapes of early '70s hawkwind and compile a cd set.
while such an endeavor on my part is far, far in the distance at best, in the
interests of contributing something here which is actually related to
hawkwind (fancy that!), i thought about what such a set might consist of
>>>MY version anyway<<< and plotted out 2 cd's, with a probable 3rd and a
possible 4th. i mean, if there was talk of making the weird tapes a 6 cd set,
then how about 4 cd's worth of stuff completely unheard beyond tape trading
circles?

unheard, yes, and freqently not at very good sound quality, either,
especially if you dont trade/collect tapes and arent accustomed to it.
remarkable audio restorations can be done nowadays, but the best which could
be done on this level is punch it up/clean it up/EQ a little, which helps,
but one would have to want to hear this stuff, which would be the point of
such a set's existence...

the selections all come from my tape collection; i know bernhard p. and mr.
parr (hi adrian!) have all of this, and maybe other BOC-L folk do too. i'm
hazy on some of the specifics but if any one asks i'll be specific as to
which show. (if the time ever came i'd certainly be exact!) discs are an est.
75 mins long
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BLOW THE HUMAN MIND: HAWKWIND LIVE 1971-77

disc 1
THE BEAST OF CHAOS (calvert recitation)/YOU SHOULDNT DO THAT
london 10/14/71
IT'S SO EASY
edmonton sundown 1/26/74...the version used officially, but minus simon
house, lemmy's vocals not mixed out, and about 10 minutes long
SWEET MISTRESS OF PAIN
wolverhampton 7/71...sounding nothing like the 1969 version, with a bit (a la
"master of the universe" ) where the band comes to a halt and the guitar
starts raving
ORGONE ACCUMULATOR
the one from "space ritual" as originally performed (the "space ritual"
version replaced the vocals and did some minor trimming, incl. some of
lemmy's noodling towards the end)
PSYCHEDELIC WARLORDS/WIND OF CHANGE
philadelphia 4/5/74...taped it meself...a couple weeks more developed than
the version on "1999 party", now with the descending-progression thing at the
end (along with lemmy sings!)
ODE TO A TIME FLOWER (moorcock recitation)/JAM
windsor/harlow 9/73...is that the correct title on "time flower"? followed by
one of only 2 pure jams i know of over the course of my "lemmy era"
tapes...alas, the sound quality is good but dominated by the bass...
URBAN GUERRILLA
southampton 7/73...the second of only two live performances of this song,
this one has lemmy singing lead... i'd  fade it out before advancing into the
"encore medley". unfortunately this would qualify for poorest sound quality
on the cd set.
PARADOX
edmonton sundown 1/26/74...the one which appeared on "mountain grill", as it
was performed...no simon house and about 3 minutes longer; as the lp version
fades they're quieting down, but they raise back up again before ending.
excellent version, great brock soloing at the end.
ENCORE MEDLEY: YOU SHOULDNT DO THAT/SILVER MACHINE/SEEING IT...
i'm gonna have to go through the tapes for this one; late 74/early '75...in
those days they tended to encore w/a medley like this , but they didnt often
play all three together.

whew. that's a lot of one-finger typing! i think i'll stop here. if there's
any interest i'll continue and describe other discs in this imaginary set.
disc #2 is plotted out...


ja ne!
