Hawkwind Sound Files

[Sprawl]

I asked Dave once if i could put up a site with short sound samples
(no full versions.)   He thought it was a great idea, and told me to go
ahead.
But as I had not yet heard of MP3, I quickly canned it after seeing a 30
second
sample fill over 8 MB on my HDD.
I may do it now that I have an MP3 encoder.
As for full versions, bad idea.  But I can't see the band getting upset over
bootlegging
the bootleggers.  My guess, if they stopped to think about it, they would
probably approve...

Just my guess, tho'.
