    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I concur; component density was a problem although I felt the heatsink was quite substantial.

    Not bad, but I found one LP was sufficient; however I picked up their second recording on CD cheaply some forty years later!

    I've been doing some record cleaning with my improved method and both of them came up very well.

    I saw Curved Air east Southampton University SU when I was 17 on 24 Jan 1976, apart from drooling over Sonja Christina, what I remember most was that they were superb musicianship. This wasn't surprising really they had toured relentlessly since 1970 https://curvedair.com/curved-air-gig-history.html I believe they are playing at a festival in Kent this year https://anewdayfestival.com/daily-line-ups quite a line up of prog rock bands, some I wouldn't mind seeing.
