Title: VINE: Van Der Graaf Generator/Peter Hammill
Description: Live compilation
Aubrey The Cat - July 10, 2007 12:42 PM (GMT)
CDs taken from the huge tape compilation put out by Mike Spindloe of Pawn Hearts 15 years ago.
Pretty much every Van Der Graaf and Hammill song that they performed live, or on BBC sessions, from 1971 to 86, with odd curiosities put in here and there - like Peter Hammill on Playaway (though that comes later). There is a fair bit of session stuff (these are the best quality VDGG "live" performances from the period); some of the rest is what you'd imagine for the time. Disc 3 and one song of disc 4 features most of VDGG's comeback concert at Victoria in 1975: astonishingly good quality, and a valuable addition, etc etc. All of it's worth having, though.
I have transfered the first four tapes and filled 4 cds (with half an hour left over for the next batch); I think there will be something like 15-16 CDs' worth when its done.
Who's first?
