Swedish radio tapes from the 1970s  make up the first new release in 30 years from the great Henry Cow (Fred Frith/Tim Hodgkinson/Chris Cutler and others). These are the first recordings to featuring Georgina Born, the group's bassist from 1976 to '78.
Downtown Music Gallery is the first shop I have seen that's carrying them and they report that the
recordings from Stockholm and Goteborg fill in some of the missing history between "In Praise of Learning" (1975) and "Western Culture" (1978) and offers music that has not been heard on record until now.
From DMG: "First is Tim Hodgkinson's late and fiendishly complicated epic composition 'Erk Gah' (a working title), that took many months of sweat to learn and resolutely eschews any hint of riff, solo or modular assembly. At the other extreme are the two wide-ranging improvisations built around heady extended instrumental techniques, aleatorics, quotations, more-or-less randomly inserted prepared materials and a blithe disregard for genre rules. Between, constantly shifting ground, are a straight-ahead version of Phil Ochs' 'No More Songs' (one of only two covers ever performed by the band), an unreleased composition by Fred Frith, and a version of the 'Ottawa Song': a typical live set from that period. Finally, Stockholm is a snapshot of a band of exceptional talents having fun. And it reflects what the studio albums could not - that Henry Cow's natural habitat was the stage - and the real-time pressure of public performance - because it was there that the music could live and breathe. And evolve."
DMG also notes two box sets will be released around Christmas time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Henry Cow. Box 1 will have five CDs covering 1971 to 1976; Box 2 will have four CDs + one DVD covering  1975-1978.The Stockholm CD is an advance release from the second box.
