In 2000 the
"Gringo" album was released on CD (AACD 036) by the
"Audio Archives" label.
It includes the same songs as the LP from 1972 and the two bonus
tracks "I'm Another Man" (single version) and
"Soft Mud".

...and Henry's memories of the concert, taken from a website about the "Weeley Festival":
"I was so pleased to be put
on to this website and recall all the Weeley memories.
I was the lead guitarist of Gringo at the time and remember the
band was scared enough about doing a gig that was so massive.
The fear turned to paranoia, probably enhanced by what we'd been
smoking, when the Hells Angels appeared. It became so ridiculous
that at the point we were due to go on stage, the self appointed
security guard, a massive guy with club and full Angel attire,
refused to let us on stage and we had to point out our roadie and
prove that we knew him in order to get on.
The sound was pretty bad on stage, but I think we played OK. In
those days there were few fold-back monitors, which meant that
you couldn't really hear what the rest of the band was playing!
I remember we had a song in the repertoire called "Murder In
the Nursery" (!!) which seemed to reflect the activity at
the back of the enclosure, where the Angels were setting a car
alight.
I had a beaten up Morris Traveller at the time and as we left the
gig an Angel scraped the side of the car with his bike. He was
very apologetic and offered his name and address if I needed to
get it fixed. Quite in contrast to the activities witnessed the
rest of the day.
All The Best
Henry"
