HW: Recent v Old (revisited) A Howl of Derision

[Captain Bl@ck]

Thank you Mike. Astounding ISN'T a bad album at all, BUT the point I was
making here was if they'd used Time For Sale, Uncle Sam, Back on the
Streets, Assassins etc on the same album as Steppenwolf, Reefer Madness and,
yes, all the cool instrumentals............

The production lacks balls - the band certainly didn't as the live material
will testify. Maybe that was Rudolph doing his Eno-esque mixes. Armchair
Hawkwind, anybody?

And yes, gatefold artwork.

Case closed, M'lud.
