Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[mary sullivan]

Christian, I may have a few years on you, but I do know how you felt, it was
like that for me, in '78, when I first heard Echoes I though Floyd were
Gods, then I heard Space Ritual a few years later and life hasn't been the
same since.

Agree on the HW issue as family vs massive hordes of Floyd fans.
Though it didnt answer my question hehe. I must have between 3-400 traded
and downloaded HW boots and all the Silver CDs and a few Vinyl boots too  I
heard DSOTM (my stepdad had the CD and a few LPs like Obscured and Relics)
in 1986 or so and HW 2 years later. HW was like the band no one had heard
apart from "Lemmy's old band before MH"! and it made me feel so much more
underground hardcore freak with my CoTBS and Flicknife era discoveries as a
stoned 16 year old into Moorcock, than any luxury cocaine addicted Floyd fan
with a 5 grand stereo LOL!
I have met Tim, Lemmy, Alan at gigs and they were all very friendly.

multinational. They are just so big and have so many fans. I would never try
and host a Pink Floyd live recordings site because there are already so many
of them, but I would and do host a Hawkwind recordings site (though the
Bootleg Emporium has kind of made me redundant :-).

> The Hawkwind universe is just so much more personal. I don't know any of
the band members personally (though Dave Brock once grinned at me - does
that count? :-) but I can exchange Facebook posts with guys who write album
sleeve notes. OK, as claims to fame go it isn't very exciting, but the point
is it feels so much more like an extended family than a corporation.

Floyd stuff just isn't as interesting as collecting Hawkwind stuff.
