while i'm on the subject, does emi's 'space ritual'  remaster simply combine
the trax on the original 'sr'+ 'srII' ; or do completists (hello) who own the
'sr' remaster also need 'srII' as well?
============
yep; EMI has no part of 'sr2', last i knew...

it would probly be a drag to have both edited(sr1) and unedited(sr2) versions
of 'brainstorm' in the same cd set. and yes, gang, it's the same cut; dont
even start ^_~.
listen for king to drop his stick during the middle 'chant' section.
but there are other, 'un-same' songs which also would be duplicated if the
two sr's were combined.

<<moving on... i,ve noticed that the 'lemmy-era' singles, when listened to
together as on a comp tape (thanks lb)[*my pleasure, rm*] almost sound like
they came from a separate band, a band that fits in really well between
motorhead's 'on
parole' & chiswick 'debut' and the pink fairies. i realize that on a 45
there's no room to jam, and perhaps (?) airplay was the goal....any thoughts?

well, consider that this bunch unexpectedly had a top 5 single in ....well,
you know...(grin)
and the follow-up wasjust starting to climb when it was yanked from
release....
so the record co.  must've been wishin' and a hopin' for another hit from
'em, somehow...with the 'guidance' of doug smith, i presume...

but of course, airplay was the goal. twas a time when 'airplay' wasnt
automatically a dirty word....not that it could be said that HW was
particularly adept at coming up w/'radio hits'....

 but, now and forever, 'silver machine' has lit the path on which their
journey has persisted through these years...

audio-anal trivia for the day:
a close listen reveals that as 'orgone accumulator' ends and 'upside down' is
beginning on sr1, the moment king kicks in, they cut to a different
performance of 'upside down'. the tuning is just a wee hair different....
