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.
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.
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 department, many people stayed inside, temporary lighting was set up and the audience was entertained
Man, occupies this set with long extended jams, delivers amazing hard psych from start to finish in an excellent set. Man, more a progressive band than otherwise, had gained stature as a strong London underground band, where most of their appreciation came from the sizzling live shows . Here with a more than 20-minute rendition of “Spunk Rock,” a powerhouse song that readily reveals the qualities of the band, and, in this case, blows the doors off the club. Like many excellent bands of that time period, MAN never received the full recognition that they deserved, despite having released top-seller albums and live sets (which, as stated, complemented them more than anything). Their performance on this set is exemplary, easily worth the price of what this set goes for.
The second disc is dedicated to Brinsley Schwartz, a band that not only employed a richness of styles, but, when splintered, went on to achieve other levels of success amongst themselves. Bassist Nick Lowe, went on to a successful solo/producing/songwriting career and a brief stint with Dave Edmunds in Rockpile. The Brinsley Schwartz band that is heard on this album, however, used rural, blues, not unlike the sound of early 70's Grateful Dead. Contrasting the extended efforts of Man, and Hawkwind, this band still held their own with smart songs and a well-performed show.
The second disc is finished out with the addition of a song from odd man performer, Magic Michael. Magic Michael is an artist that very few have ever heard of; and his performance is likely an interlude to the bands featured.
The final disc is the musical document of Hawkwind’s involvement with the event. Acting as headliner, Hawkwind was the last performance of the evening. Featuring a newly joined and pre-Motorhead, Lemmy Kilmister, Hawkwind’s set is a superb performance full of energy... the spacy and innovative energies that one would expect from the band. Their performance is exceptional, driving, heavy and psyched-out, including a then previously unheard new tune in the excellent “Silver Machine,” which ended up a much different song in other performances.
