Here & Now - Oxford Poly 18th June 1977
Review by Juergen Pfeiffer
Here & Now's album Oxford Poly 18th June 1977 offers a glimpse into the band's live performance at the Oxford Polytechnic in 1977. The album features a mix of psychedelic and punk rock music, which is sure to get the listener's feet tapping.
The album opens with the energetic "Floating Anarchy Radio," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's unique sound is evident in tracks like "What You See Is What You Are" and "Opium for the People." The latter features a catchy chorus that is likely to stay in the listener's head long after the album has ended.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Holy Smoke," which showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres of music. The track starts off with a reggae beat before transitioning into a more psychedelic sound.
The album ends with "Time Is a Sausage," a track that features a funky bass line and catchy lyrics. The song is a perfect way to end the album, leaving the listener wanting more.

Notes
- This was Daevid Allen's first guest appearance with Here & Now. They formed Planet Gong a few months later.
- Gig note : about 12 minutes have been edited out, due to CD time limits, and audio infidelity. These 12 mins (Soviet Komm. Radio etc) came between track 4 and 5 on the CD. Much much work has gone into mastering this CD from the original stereo tape. Hiss removal etc, etc, have helped reveal the sound extremely well , however, several of the flaws from the original recording remain and may even be amplified by the clean-up campaign.
