     Man, but I hate the sound on the first few albums--though the music is
great.  It's _so_ thin!  Now if they'd played those same songs but come out
with a sound more like Sabbath (or Hawkwind :) was getting around the same
time--thicker and heavier--that would have been great.  IMO, of course :)

    Oh, for a recording of "Stairway to the Stars" that really _thundered_.
 Despite the fearsome recording quality, I think I still like the _Live
1976_ "Stairway" better than the studio version simply because it is much
more agressive and virbrant sounding.

Cheers,
Carl
