5.0 out of 5 stars What A Long Wait! 24 Oct 2007
By I. Gomm
Format:Audio CD
Imagine how I feel. As an ex-member of Brinsley Schwarz I have had to wait 35 years to hear how and what we played that day. I was particularly impressed by my singing!

Format:Audio CD
This album was originally a double vinyl LP intended to raise funds for the Greasy Truckers, an organisation who's origins are lost in the midst of time to me. It contained performances from the live event, most notably Man and Hawkwind but also with Brinsley Schwartz, and it could be said that it was a relatively major underground hit.

Man had released a CD of their performance a few years ago but it is only now where we are able to enjoy the whole shebang interupted as it was by a power cut caused through a dispute between Prime Minister Ted (teeth) Heath and the National Union of Mineworkers. Rolling power cuts were the order of the day across the country and entertainment events such as my own Jingles Wednesday Explosion at the mecca in Sunderland were curtailed at most inconvenient times. In the end, Heath blinked first, the government backed down and that event began a chain of events which culminated in the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979.

However, back to the music. It is great to have this expanded set available once again not only for the superb 23 minute Spunk Rock which opens the album for Man but also for the hint of the power of Hawkwind's live performance although the mixing leaves a lot to be desired on their set. Brinsley Schwartz at first seem to be the odd band out here with their affable and easy going pub/indie rock but they are the perfect foil for the other two bands and later matured into one of the most accomplished and professional bands in Britain before their demise.

However, as a live album this may not be perfect but it is an accurate reflection of a dramatic evening filled with incident where the three bands, ably assisted by DJ Andy Dunkley, took those in attendance to a higher plane, all in a good cause.

What no video?

Format:Audio CD
Superbly produced 3-CD expanded reissue of the legendary Greasy Truckers Party - of the first one that took place on February 13, 1972 at the London Roundhouse. Disc one is the complete set by Man, which is a fine audio document of the show although it's pretty similar to their live 'Padget Rooms' disc. Disc two is the one and only space rock pioneers Hawkwind with their (then) ground-breaking performance for the head-swirling "You Shouldn't Do That", "Paranoia" (off the band's 1970 first lp), Bob Calvert's top-of-the-line recital "Earth Calling", their only million-seller "Silver Machine", "Born To Go" and one of Nik Turner's true mile stones - a jamming version of "Brainstorm". If you automatically assume you might not want this 3-CD box set because you already own copies of 'Space Ritual', 'Empire Pool Wembley' and '1999 Party-Live At Chicago Auditorium' - think again! If you're a Hawkwind completist like I (sort of) am you're going to want this show because it appears to have different instrumentations, various arrangements, etc. Disc three is Brinsley Schwarz - featuring Nick Lowe (Graham Parker, Rockpile) playing their usual set of British pub rock. For some reason(s), I could never get too much into this band. Nonetheless, this 3-CD box set is a M-U-S-T have. Look around enough and you should be able to find it at a very affordable price.

All that wait for the re-release and then where is Gong and Global Village Trucking Company, by far the best things on the original.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but I wish they wouldn't muck about with these things
My only gripe is that Born To Go is at least two minutes shorter than the bonus track on the 2cd Space Ritual (which I'm assuming is what was on the original Greasy Truckers LP),... Read more
