  My first HW album was the "masters of the universe" LP, which atvb the
time was the only thing you could get from the record club that I was in
in my teens.  I thought it was cool, but not heavy enough, but still
being heavy in its own right.  YEARS later, when I was in the navy, we
docked in Sydney, and my mates brother brought over a tape of HW, "live"
(1979), and I played it on my walkman while laying in my bunk.  It kicked
my arse.  The next day I went to find ANY HW I could, and I found
Levitation in a second hand shop.  I have not been well since :)

 I, too, have never heard HW whilst on any chemical substances, or
artificial entertainment substances.  I like it that way.

  L8r,

 Troy
