Wunderlich! (& what he possess was poetic "facility" sans paraeil, which was never facile...)

Nice video for a wonderful song. Calvert lives on.

HeidiLandRover

1)anyway as i was saying lol, "i never met the man and so i never knew the man", but i did see him perform live, and the thing i got to know bout the man was, no attitudes born out of stardom, not like most music icons/primadonnas, this man shouted out to all in the crowd, "can anyone put us up for the night", this man was willing to enter the home of any one of us, there that night, can you imagine meeting a "star" and them saying to you, "hey lets go to yours tonight" theyd sign a name and go.

2. no, where others would just ask where you want their signature and fuck off thanking you for your money (ahem i mean support), not robet calvet, he was willing to go home to one of our houses, and sit with us, drink and eat with us, and partake in our own personal hospitality, he was willing to get to know his fanbase in the most intimate way possible, in a fans own inner-santuary (home), now if anyone is deserving of the title "Star", then not many are worthy, but this great man was, r.i.p.

aah yes i guess i found the video lol, yes i remember seeing this a couple of years ago, it is a good video, but how long was you there for lining up all them nuts into a hive pattern, then straightening themup, then fixing any you may have disturbed, then one final check over, shit, you must have some patience lol, anyway, just wannashare what makes calvert a little more special to me so will probably need to post another comment lol as im almost outta letters here rofl

Bob Calvert looks spookily like Aleister Crowley on the album cover photo...

@Molesworth2K Yes: dig out the vinyl!

I had to sell my copy of the 7" many moons ago - very much a home-made cover as I remember it. Mott, I think both this and "Greenfly" are on the vinyl version of Hype - I really must dig it out.

@otefsu Then show them this video! Spread the word... Robert Calvert was a master wordsmith: one of a kind.

HeidiLandRover

Why am I the only one I know that likes this music?

@MottTheWot This is a re-edit that was created most likley after Bob's death. It is a remix of the original 1980(-82) single, w/b side: greenfly and the rose (which I own along with the Original HYPE album & book, autographed by Bob Himself!) This is a bonus track on CD reissue of HYPE.

@HeidiLandRover I've been lucky enough to meet just about everyone who i ever wanted too, meeting Lemmy albeit for just 5 minutes is a great memory, elephant carlsbergs opened on his belt "get yerself a beer boy" then he wouldn't stop talking about the Hawkwind days telling all who would listen that The Space Ritual tour was the greatest rock tour ever! He should never have been given the ass by Hawkwind, i think he might still hold some resentment toward Turner? I am seeing Hawkwind March 12th

HeidiLandRover

@MottTheWot Yeah: that sounds like Lemmy! I saw him a few times when he played with the Hawks on occasion in the eighties and nineties. He didn't look too happy when he was on stage during the Hawkestra thing - perhaps he thought Nik Turner was hogging the limelight? He and Dave Brock still had that telepathy going on though, it's really weird.

MottTheWot

@HeidiLandRover Thanks for that, i got my copy of Urban Guerilla signed by Lemmy years ago, he said to me " i liked Calvert, he was mad you know, but he gave me work"
