HW: on converting new souls

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

It's an interesting one, this, as we tend largely to preach to the converted
but shortly intend to do exactly what you are doing but oin a much wider
scale so I've had to come up with a sort of essential five albums for the
person who hasn't heard the band before. So, at the moment (and I stress 'at
the moment') my list is as follows (in no particular order):
1)Ambient Anarchists
for the price conscious person who wants a good snapshot of material
post-EMI that focuses on songs and instrumental work but nothing too
over-the-top, a neat place to start
2)(Cheating slightly)Sonic Boom killers (for chronology and shorter tracks)
OR Psychedelic Warlords (for definitive EMI years compilation) OR Masters Of
The Universe (Fame version for the EMI years price conscious person) as
representing EMI years
3)Alien
the modern band
4)Electric Teepee
the '80's
5)Space Ritual
in with both feet and bulging wallet (altrhough not for too much longer
where price is concerned - roll on August 20th!!!!) for the definitive
Hawkwind live experience


The choice is governed by availability.........and, of course, could change
tomorrow but I think that's a fair choice at a fair price.
While I'm here, Cherry Red, after a cock-up caused by them, finally
delivered the 'Night Of' DVD to us this week, so orders are on the way to
eveyone, but there are five left at offer price (UK ones) if anyone wants to
take advantage (e.mail me here at andygee at dial.pipex.com ). For USA people
the NTSC one is expected any day.

That's all folks,
Andy Garibaldi
