Amazing! I'm the prowd owner of a copy of the original vinyl pressing, bought several years ago at a second hand vinyl shop in São Paulo, my hometown. The cover, which always intrigued me and my brother since we saw it in Robert Godwin's book The Colletor's Guide to Hawkwind, is currently framed in my room wall beside Randy Newman's soundtrack for Ragtime (a great Miloš Forman movie). The Atomhenge double CD is also fantastic!
Were we really ever that young? Did we ever really play those notes or sing that tune?? It's so long ago we can't be sure, but here it is to remind us of what we forgot. The remembering is so very good. [Stellar job on the restore. Sounds really clean.]
Thanks mate! The sound is great! The chap who recorded this also did a 1/4 audio of it too! He like it that much! Although I'm sure you already have that..
@@ditelimedia5589 Yes indeed. About a thousand years ago I was DJing on an indy station when _Fresh Blood_ came into our New Releases bin.... loved the whole thing (still my singular favorite album, I own 3 copies) and yes, I did buy _Messages_ when the CD came out, then before I had a chance to listen I moved and it got lost in the shuffle, and I just now found it again! must be a sign. :) PS. Sneaked a look at your channel. (There was a Callan film? I've seen some of the series...) Really good work.
@@DanMingo An absolute pleasure. I'm so glad I managed to get the tape playing again, from what is probably the only remaining copy, so we can all view again :-)

Thank you kind sir!

Cool -- before even the Hawklords album!
Yep, '25 Years On' was recorded in 1978, I think.
Wonderful Stuff Steve! It's been a pleasure to restore this :-) Best wishes - David Palfreyman X
Much appreciated David.
