CHOMP!

This was done in '79? I bought the sucker (@ Best Buys for $12.99) but
did not see any indication of the recording date onnit. Have to look closer.
There are several more tracks on the CD than just the two above. The
personel lineup does jibe, however, so it must be the same thing,

Haven't played the beastie yet, so no comment on the music. Did find the
new Spiral Realms for $11.99 and it seems quite nice. Also got the Floyd
tribute disk that has a number of HW alumni & friends onnit (Turner, Creed,
Pressurehed & Farflung) for a measly $16.99 for two CD's!

Go to Best Buys if you must have it!
