This is available on CD (I saw it today at Impact Records in Civic, Canberra). Is there something wrong with the remastered CD version? Just interested as I have picked up the following Hawkwind CDs: Doremi Fasol latido The hall of the mountain grill In search of space Live Chronicles All sound pretty damn good to me.

Yes, it doesnt sound like the original :-( I like those two da-da-da-da passages that start after the silence on the original version, use to really rock the house with the subwoofers. >Just interested as I have picked up the following Hawkwind CDs: >Doremi Fasol latido >The hall of the mountain grill >In search of space >Live Chronicles Got all of those but they are like modified versions of the original records, and I even ordered The hall of the mountain grill from CDNOW an didnt get the right one. >All sound pretty damn good to me. They are 'ok', they miss the clarity, and the old live show warmth (called window shattering bass), some are more like warmup sessions. >I never saw Hawkwind but I did see lenny (Motorhead) :-) personally I think Lenny belongs back with Hawkwind, Motorhead is ok but ..... its all personal taste. I really wish I had all my original records !

I've been reading up more on Microsofts DRM (Digital something Management), just another form of world domination and control. Between them and Sony, I think we are going to see some messy stuff over the next two years. Lets hope that the consumer will win.

The extra/bonus tracks often are - especially on Uriah Heep CDs When my house gets extended and my record player is situated on a concrete slab I will play records again - it has been a while since I could play a record without someone stepping on a floorboard and making the record skip :-( My record player even has suspension. Ariston RD11 Superieur with Moving coil cartridge. I have never been able to afford a Linn Sondek LP12. Someone stole some of my record collection about two months ago - it just happened to be the box with G to J - Ian Gillan and .. Hawkwind being in that box :-( -- Regards, Mick -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Taylor miket at pcug dot org dot au ----------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www dot netspeed dot com dot au/miket/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
