Radio 6 (oh, and the bootleg)

[deadearnest]

The official BBC release is, for some reason, in mono - why on earth a
reissue has never happened considering they have the master tapes and keep
broadcasting them, is beyond my comprehension for sure. I remember hearing
this Radio One In Concert when it was first aired and recording it onto 5"
open reel tape, long since disappeared. I ended up with a really excellent
tape thanks to a Canadianm guy who recorded it off one of those broadcasts
that the BBC used to licence out to overseas radio stations - so that mine
has this plummy voiced announcer at the beginning saying something about
tonight's concert being Hawkwind - then the countdown and then the hour of
ecstacy.
Daresay the digital broadcasts are way better nowadays - just wish I could
get hold of one or find the time to listen if one ever comes along.
On a separate subject, the new Architectural Metaphor CD is currently being
pressed by them in the USA, so look out for that from us soon - it's a gem.
