The Greasy Truckers Party, as a double-LP set, was the item that every serious music collector in the 70's and 80's just had to have. Just to have seen a copy was something to tell fellow enthusiasts at the next fair.
In 2007, over 30 years later, the original eight-track master tapes had not only survived, but they had been turned into three very fully packed CDs, the complete sets of Man, Brinsley Schwarz, and Hawkwind (with a Magic Michael & Friends track thrown in too).
With the addition of Deke Leonard from 'The 'Dream', the Man started to be talked about with the same weight as The Grateful Dead. The band were a late addition to the Greasy Truckers Party, held at London's Roundhouse, on Sunday 13th February 1972. Hawkwind were the headline act on a bill that included Brinsley Schwarz and Magic Michael.
Andrew Lauder, UA's label manager, called the Greasy Truckers, "a loose organisation of individuals whose ideals were based on those of the Diggers in San Francisco, recycling money into worthwhile causes."
Man contributed five tracks to the CD with 'Spunk Rock' (originally a four minute track entitled 'Spunk Box') providing a 20 minute mix of electric guitars and powerhouse drumming.
This was the first of two concerts to be recorded (the second, Dingwalls Dancehall, featured Camel, Henry Cow, Gong and the Global Village Trucking Co).
Brinsley Schwarz were an excellent band, albeit in a pub-rock kind of way and featured a certain Nick Lowe. They played a creative yet tight set.
Magic Michael + Friends contributed just one track to the album and it's best to swiftly move on.
The balance of the party is given to Hawkwind, with 12 tracks to enjoy.
This was originally sold as a double vinyl album, sold at ?1.50, it rapidly sold out, and became a collector's item. The original album contained:
Side 1
Man - "Spunk Rock" (Ace/Jones/Leonard/Williams)
Side 2
Man - "Angel Easy" (Ace/John/Jones/Leonard/Williams)
DJ Andy Dunkley - Speech

Magic Michael - "Music Belongs to the People" (Michael)
Side 4
