''Greasy Truckers Party'' is a 1972 live album by various artists recorded at a February 1972 Greasy Truckers concert at the Roundhouse in London. The concert featured three bands, Man, Brinsley Schwarz and Hawkwind, and musician ''Magic Michael''. Originally a double vinyl album, in a limited edition of 20,000 and sold at just £1.50, it rapidly sold out, and became a collector's item.〔Sleeve notes to 2007 CD re-release〕 Greasy Truckers were "a loose organisation of individuals whose ideals were based on those of the Diggers in San Francisco, recycling money into worthwhile causes." This album was the first of two albums recorded at concerts in London organised by Greasy Truckers, the second being ''Greasy Truckers Live at Dingwalls Dance Hall'' (1974). All proceeds from the concert and LP sales went to Greasy Truckers' project to build a hostel in Notting Hill Gate.〔According to a plug for the album, on Man's "Live at the Padget Rooms, Penarth" 2007 remix album.〕 The concert was due to run from 3PM until midnight and include performances by Byzantium and others, but wage disputes between the unions and the government had led to frequent power cuts, one of which occurred in the early evening, giving an unusual album track "Power cut". The fire brigade asked the audience to leave, but when power was resumed, and the audience re-admitted, hundreds more people came in. In defiance of the Fire Brigade, many people stayed inside, temporary lighting was set up and the audience was entertained by eccentric folk band Skinner's Rats who did not require amplification. They started with the opening of Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" before breaking into a medley of reels and being joined on stage by a troop of Morris dancers - the Blackheath Foot and Death Men. The power cut had affected Hawkwind's synthesisers, which were very temperamental, leading to their apologies, and having to restart their act after a breakdown.〔 ==Track listing== Side one (22:00) #Man – "Spunk Rock" (Ace/Jones/Leonard/Williams) Side two (22:00) #Man – "Angel Easy" (Ace/John/Jones/Leonard/Williams) #DJ Andy Dunkley – Speech #DJ Andy Dunkley – Power cut #Brinsley Schwarz – "Wonder Woman" (Toussaint) #Brinsley Schwarz – "Its Just My Way of Saying Thank You" (Lowe) #Brinsley Schwarz – "I'm Ahead If I Can Quit While I'm Behind" (Ford) Side three (22:00) #Brinsley Schwarz – "Midnight Train" (trad. arranged Brinsley Schwarz) #Brinsley Schwarz – "Surrender to the Rhythm" (Lowe) #Magic Michael – "Music Belongs to the People" (Michael) Side four (21:30) #Hawkwind – "Master of the Universe" (Turner/Brock) #Hawkwind – "Born to Go" (Calvert/Brock) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greasy Truckers Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
