Glastonbury and Elsewhere

darkclothes I appreciate the opportunity to complete my Henry Cow box with the add-on of Glastonbury and Elsewhere! The tracks are mostly interesting, the opening track from Glastonbury is a great piece of guitar driven progressive jazz rock and has better sound than the rest. A worthwhile addition to the Henry Cow catalog. Favorite track: Glastonbury Fayre, 1972: Poglith Drives a Vauxhall Viva.

about

– ABOUT THIS ALBUM –

Contents: 1: the earliest and only known stage recording of the band as it was in June 1972 (Martin Ditcham, Fred Frith, John Greaves and Tim Hodgkinson) at the first Glastonbury Fayre. The recording is quite clean, though the mix heavily favours bass and guitar but, in a way, this makes it of special interest, both musically and historically. 2, Then there’s the brief two-week iteration of Henry Cow from April 1978 featuring Fred, Tim, Chris and Phil Minton, with an eclectic programme that included a lot of Westbook/Orkhestra materials. 3.Taken from a concert in Bilbao, in 1977, some otherwise unrecorded compositions from the late Cow repertoire in a typical mash up of different snippets - as well as: 4, further unusual extracts from the Chaumont concert in 1976 and: 5, a brief studio moment captured by a film crew during the recording of Half Awake, Half Asleep, in 1973. These are not hi fidelity recordings, but they are the only documentary evidence that survives of these configurations, and Bob has worked wonders with them.

Box Version £10.50, digi version £12.50. The artwork is essentially the same in both cases.

Henry Cow UK

The band who invented a new genre, changed music forever & carved out a permanent place in rock history. They were among the first bands signed to Richard Branson's Virgin label in 1973, on the recommendation of Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt, who described them as "my favourite band in the world". Their blend of free jazz and experimental rock make them one of the greatest British bands of all time. ... more
