notes

Recorded 25th August 1976 at Vevey, Switzerland. This is the only known video recording of Henry Cow.
This is the tenth volume of the Henry Cow Anniversary Box set, released individually by ReR Megacorp in 2017 by public demand. Part 2 of 40th Anniversary Box.
Cardboard box with 5 discs in jewel cases and a 60-page book inside.

Tracks 1-1 to 1-7 and 1-12 to 1-14 were recorded for Tonkraft at a concert in Stockholm (the radio box says Goteborg) on May 9, 1977 and broadcast June 8 and 11, 1977.
Tracks 1-9 to 1-11 were recorded for Tonkraft at a concert in Goteborg on May 28, 1976 and broadcast July 14 and July 17.
Track 1-8 was mixed up at some stage along the way and the version used was from the NDR Jazz Workshop, Hamburg concert on 26th March 1976.
NOTE: After mastering this CD we realised that the version of Ottawa Song used on it was in fact from the Hamburg Radio recording; the files somehow got mixed up or mislabelled. Mea Culpa. This also means that John is not playing bass on tracks 1-9 to 1-11 - these tracks feature only Cooper, Cutler, Frith and Hodgkinson.

Tracks 2-1 to 2-3 were recorded at Wandsworth Town Hall in London on February 13th 1977.
Track 2-4 was recorded at De Piek in Vlissingen on May 22nd 1977.
Tracks 2-5 to 2-7 were recorded at the Salle des Fetes, Chaumont on November 25th 1976.
(All the above tracks were recorded, probably to cassette, by unknown audience members.)
Tracks 2-8 to 2-11 were recorded at the Melkweg in Amsterdam on December 16th 1977, also most likely to cassette by an unknown audience member.
Track 2-12 is an unidentified late recording, probably from Italy in May/June 1977, taken from a cassette.

Tracks 3-1 to 3-14 recorded at the Sendesaal, Studio F, Radio Bremen on 22nd of March, 1978 for New Jazz Live. Transferred from the original stereo tapes.
There is no track 3-12 listed on back cover. It must be the last part of 'Bremen' according to the full duration of that title shown on back cover.

Tracks 4-1 to 4-4 and 4-10 (source unknown, but probably Italy, outdoors, and certainly in June or July 1978).
Tracks 4-5 to 4-9 were recorded at the Rock In Opposition Festival at the New London Theatre, Drury Lane, London on March 12th 1978 on a Revox A77 with a pair of Nakamichi microphones.
Track 4-11 was almost certainly recorded in Cervia on the 23rd of July, 1978. Source of recording unknown but probably a cassette made in the auditorium.

DVD recorded 25th August 1976 at Vevey, Switzerland. This is the only known video recording of Henry Cow.
