wow, you go away for a few months and look what happens. HMV japan has
got the boadrum cd/dvd priced at about 60 uk pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(funnily priced 7777 yen - ha ha) there's also a 12" of something +
super roots 10. I must say, a year ago I'd have plunged straight into
my magical debt card to get this stuff, but looking at all the comments
I'm not so sure if i'm bothered.

I know there's an attraction in collecting stuff that's 'hard to come
by' (even if the internet makes it dead easy, as long as you're
prepared to pay the money),but really - can anyone say that the group
has done anything really different in the last nine years? They've
become something of a leftfield institution recently, so they could
pretty much release the sound of Eye clicking his fingers 777 times and
someone would run out and buy it. I can't help thinking of ageing
hippies such as Hawkwind, eternally touring, eternally doing the same
thing in front of a fervently loyal, unquestioning fan-base...
