        Is this mostly _Alien 4_ rehashed live or what?  Still, I suppose
it might be worthwhile to have a decent live version Sputnik and I expect
the "Robot" will be cool.  Also, perhaps at long last a version of "Silver
Machine" that does justice to the original?
        The non-inclusion of "Lord of Light" is a _grievious_ error,
especially when you consider it would tie in so well with the _Doremi_
and _Space Ritual_ re-release.

        Bummer.  I want to see Hawkwind!  On the other hand, I might be
willing to wait until they've got some new material ...

        If it's really that cheap I might even buy it.

Cheers,
Carl
