'Ahead Rings Out' is essential. Some marvellous material on there- 'Sing Me A Song In The Morning' is a particular favourite. The remaster has several extra tracks, including the excellent 'See My Way', which was on the US version of the album.
this is my favorite song from the first Aviator record. Even though the sound quality is really inferior on this YT source. I read that there is a (don't know if it's legit--probably not??) CD release of this album that is just a poor transfer from a vinyl source with some terrible post-processing applied when mastered to CD. a shame!

There was a good live recording of Aviator shared online recently.
Yes there was! The only live Aviator show I've ever come across! (It was the three-piece version as the opening act for Steve Hillage in 1979. I was the guy that helped to fill in the gaps in the setlist. it did run a little slow pitchwise, [needs a pitch increase by +2.4%] but that's certainly not uncommon for a cassette recording from the 70's...)
