Jon Jarrett stated and asked:
" A friend of mine bought this on sight, though I have yet to get
her to buy any Hawkwind... it was the Bonzo Dog band connection that did
it I think. The remastering is audible over the vinyl, which is what I'd
heard before, but I don't know how it compares to the old CD. A bit
clearer, not really any crisper it seemed to me. What interested me is
that sticker on the front, "Remastered from original tapes, faithfully
restored artwork" yadda yadda; I've only seen these on Castle/Essential
releases before. Do Castle own BGO too?"
YES, I COULDN'T BE TOO SURE ABOUT THE "REMASTERING"....been too long since I
heard
the original BGO copy (no Idea if "Castle Label" Owned)
I CAN'T WRAP MY BRAIN AROUND IT AS WELL WITHOUT THE POPS, SO I FOLLOWED
WITH A VINYL PLAY.....GUESS I'LL NEVER KNOW.....
AS FOR THE GREEK 4-TRACK, IT SEEMS TO BE A SNEAKY, PESKY LITTLE JOBBER OF
AN ITEM THAT YOU NEED A GREEK MAFIA CONNECTION FOR....
I have just been informed that I will receive an extra copy, that I did not
know I would get .......
I PROPOSE THIS VERY BIZZARE TRADE OFFER, IN KEEPING WITH MY "HIGH
STRANGENESS"....
IF ANYONE HAS A COPY OF THE MID 70'S CIRCULAR STICKER, MADE BY UNITED
ARTISTS COMPANY, THAT I BELIEVE WAS PUT ONTO LP'S LIKE WARRIOR WHEN
IMPORTED TO FRANCE....THAT HAS A LITTLE CARTOON OF THE SST CONCORD ON IT,
AND SAYS "IMPORT", AND DISPLAY THE LITTLE UA LOGO AT THE BOTTOM......I'LL
TRADE A COPY JUST FOR THE STICKER (IT IS REMOVEABLE).....(IT'S LIME GREEN
COLORED, AND DARK BLUE)...
THE TRACKS ON THE EP ARE LIFTED FROM THE REMASTERED CD'S (UK
VERSIONS)...THEY ARE: "the psychedelic warlords, motorhead (new mix?),
master of the universe, silver machine, kings of speed (best I ever heard
it)...
the whole thing sounds super sharp...it'll do ya....also, on the front
cover, which is a spiral galaxy in space, with the doremi design logo
HAWKWIND, it says
Electronically Enhanced for stereo"..which I find to be curious, and a
probable flag that something is up here.....
and finally....apologies to any this email isn't welcome to, but I cannot
email Jon private...
besides..I know you will mooch the info ...(just a joke...go ahead)
