Against all predictions, the fight to release these recordings has finally been won. We fervently hope that there will soon be many more events to add to the growing list of people’s victories and we hope that from the performances here recorded you will
draw increased strength and confidence to sustain your own participation in the struggle.

But we must not permit our joy over the gathering strength of our battered millions to distract our attention from the mounting dangers that Spacemen 3 now face. Consider how immensely the movements for a society without poverty and exploitation will be advanced by the winning of the group’s freedom – in fact, have already been advanced by its fearless stand – and you will have the measure of how much more determined than ever our masters will be to take them from us.
