HW: HW vs Voiceprint (Live 79 and Weird)

[david hall]

Yeah, I expected the same. The mix wanders a bit, in volume and clarity. The
second CD is better in my most 'umble opinion, some right spiffing rock-outs
there (even though Tim seems to get "lost" in the mix). The 79 version of
Spirit Of The Age has never been my favourite but the version of Urban
Guerilla is miles better than that on the b-side of Shot Down. The entire
set seems to be a lift from a mixing desk with, minimal,
production. All-in-all good stuff, better than Live '82. Could have done a
lot better with the production (the sound is way, way thinner than that at
the Glasgow gig), hey but production is frequently suspect on HW releases.

Weird Tapes
Anyone got information on the content of the remaining Collectors Series.
I've got the Weird Tapes (some of the contents of which have already been
released) is there any reason to invest in the forthcoming releases?

>The sound on the 'Complete '79' is a bit dodgy as well. I was expecting the
same album of the 'Live 79' gig, but with the rest of the tracks added. It's
a completely different gig. Anyone know where it was recorded ? Does anyone
know what's on this 'Free CD'.
