Hawkwind Direct (San Diego 89 Xenomorph)

[mary]

We did try to make Dave copies of the shows each night, but didn't always
have the equipment, time, or whatever.  If the band had contacted me I might
have been able to get folks to help me with the mammoth undertaking I have
to do concerning all my music in the spring, but we were hard to get ahold
of for a while.  I wish I could get permission to release the masters.  I
don't want them to collect dust if I send them to the band, so first I still
need to find out the exact model of the machine they were made on, then test
the tapes.  A garage isn't the best storage space, but when it's that or
nothing, well, there you have it.  I hope one day after I've found the tapes
I can work out something with our Captain, so that a proper recording that
Chris made will hopefully be professionally released.  I really don't care
about the money, the music is what it's all about.  A bit of music from the
band in exchange would be appreciated, of course, but with the potential
quality for really good releases is out there, and it should be utilized,
especially with a band on the cutting edge like Hawkwind.

Peace,

Mary

In Ian's and Carol's books there are statements that the cds issued
through Voiceprint are licensed by Dave Brock . Why he would want these
crummy sound quality cd's sold to the fans is beyond me . Especially when he
must have tons of excellent soundboard recordings of all kinds of shows he
could have given them instead . But Hawkwind fans keep accepting this and
never really complain to the band . Look at the Knights of Space . If after
some of the really bad sounding cd's on Voiceprint ,all the fans complained
about the sound quality of licensed bands releases , Knights of Space would
have really been mixed with real care . Instead look what we got .
