Very positive in so far as it went. However as with so many reviews
of HW it came to the conclusion that 70s = good, 80s and 90s = not
so good. Which, whilst I guess it's the concensus here on BOC-L is
not something I agree with.

I think EMI are doing a great job of promoting epoch-eclipse. Apart
from all of the reviews there are plenty of adverts too. The Guardian
had ads for 2 record shops (MVC and Andys I think) which both showed
it amongst their albums of the week. This will have 2 effects: older
fans who'd stopped listening will be informed that the Hawks are still
flying and new fans will be attracted. Bloomin' marvellous!
