Reading 92 SBD vs Official AUD

[Lost Johnny]

Ian,Your partially right about the Flicknife and weird tapes. Those were bad
enough for RCA ,but at least the sound quality was good .But I am not
referring to that alone as the reason for RCA letting them go . I am
specifically referring to the numerous rehashes of the crummy audience tapes
of Text of Festival , Text of festival  and the 3 Acid daze  LPs .On vinyl
at the time of the RCA contract there was for example ,Welcome to the Future
,In the Beginning ,Text of Festival ,Yuri Gargarian, Live 1970-1973 ,Early
Daze,The Collection, the 3 Acid Daze Lps,  the 3  Anthology LP's, British
Tribal Music,Utopia 84, 3 Lp Acid Daze boxset ,etc. These were all the same
3 above crummy sounding audience tapes rehashed over and over . My local
record stores actually at the time ,stopped carrying Hawkwind without you
specifically ordering it because so many people bought these and returned
them thinking there was something wrong with them . And the above doesn't
even include Space Ritual 2 ,which although it has great sound ,was also
rehashed into numerous vinyl like the  different "Ridicule" LP's also. It
led at the time to a big drop off in their fan base . I knew a lot of fans
at the time which bought these and weren't very happy . And when all these
starting coming out,Hawkwind also started being harder to find in the stores
because of this too .
