HW: Epoch Eclipse Review.

[Thomas Guy]

Hi Tim

Welcome to BOC-L.

I'm not much of a fan of compilations myself - even though I have a lot of
the HW compilations already. I probably won't be getting this one, just for
one or two new tracks!  That said, looking at the track listing, it's not a
bad set for anybody who isn't a total Hawk-head and wants a good overview,
without having to buy the entire back-catalogue!

I do suspect that even EMI are deliberately trying to snare those of us who
are total collectaholics, (as do all record companies!!) by the insertion of
the previously unheard stuff!  (Just as they did on the 25years 4CD box
set!)  I'm going to resist the temptation this time though!

Personally, I don't play commercial compilations any more, but I have made a
couple of mini discs of all the rarer material from my existing collection.
One the same note I DO play my own compilations, (The beauty of Mini Disc!)

As an example - my favourite home produced compilation is more ore less the
complete set from the winter 1989 tour, taking the relevant tracks from the
Hi-Fi stereo sound track of Live Legends, as well as songs from Palace
Springs, and a few other sources.  This is probably played more than any of
my CDs! Using a domestic mixer, live tracks can me merged together virtually
seamlessly!

(Mr Brock - if you are reading this - how about releasing one of the
Hammersmith 1989 shows  in it's entirety - probably the best gigs of the
best HW tour ever!!!)

'nuff said for now.

Guy Thomas

                newbie here (Hi Keith)
                I figured Epocheclipse was yet another poxy compilation.  So
why should
                anyone with a half decent Hawks collection want to get it?
