Blimey, never seen this before. Loved Henry Cow from '73. Saw them a few times too. Last time in Huddersfield for the memorial. Most underrated band of my lifetime!

Nah, I don't think so. They're pretty much the poster child of avant-rock/avant-prog. They are pretty known for how extreme their music is.

Unfortunately that genius leaves many people behind. Like me for example. I can appreciate the musicanship, but it's too caotic for my own tastes.

(7:42) "you have 2 choices. You trust no one and you remain an outsider, or you take a chance to see what it's like. For a long time, we didn't want to compromise. And we didn't." Q: "How did you make a living" (laughs) a:"We didn't. We were starving." "How did we live? Just about." I apologize, that's the best I can do.

""Henry Cow is recording a disc, their first one after years of existence." An odd thing to say as this purportedly from November '73, Leg End was already recorded. This is the Greasy Truckers' session, as indicated by the snatch of Sweet Heart of Mine just before the interview segment.

Yes, it is the Manor. HC went on last at the Greasy Trucker's Dingwall's Dancehall show, and only got in a ten minute set before closing so they went into the Manor for a day and laid down what became their side of the compilation.

they look like fender precision bass pickups - on a hand made pick guard maybe? Fred knows. This vid doesn't show his 335 with the extra pickup at the 'other' end of the neck. I was lucky to see 3 jams he had in/around Carnaby St with Lol Coxhill. I wish that had been recorded.
