Hawkwind MP3's

[William Duffy]

Me again

Todd Rundgren has a site set up where (for a small yearly fee) you can
download various audio & video material. Why don't the band not set up
something similar? They could put all the material on there that gets
constantly re-released, such as Text of Festival.
