Thanks for the info, that's a good CD source. The Greasy Truckers still
available HAWKKVP2CD 14.99, does that definately have Bobs Silver Machine on
it? My vinyl Greasy Truckers only has Born to Go and Master of the Universe.

Thanks.

There's an official (I think)  CD of it
http://search.cdzone.co.uk/cgibin/cdzwww.cgi?1,Find,searchform,BAFB3E4C1
97046B239BBF1D28151C610!
Several versions by the look of it

Yes, and the solos are overdubs - it's puzzled me for years that it's
supposed to have been recorded at the Roundhouse on the same day as
Greasy Truckers but the Glastonbury version is obviously the one that
provided most of the material (Except overdubs) for the single.
Now I'm puzzled as to why it's on the Glastonbury album if it wasn't
recorded there.
