     And of course to add to the mystery, Simon House is an EBS recording
artist, having released _Yassasim_ on EBS just recently, with the title
track having appeared on the EBS sampler CD.  So clearly he's not _too_
cheesed off with HW ....

     Frankly the whole situation of who has ripped off who in the long and
far too complicated saga of Hawkwind passes my understanding.  I suspect
almost everyone has ripped off nearly everyone else to some degree or
another.  I'm not sure I can level the hovering finger of blame with any
equality with the little I know.
     I would guess Dave was having a go at Nik with the writing credits in
retribution for Nik's pirating the Hawkwind name--whether that's fair or
not I suppose depends on one's point of view!

Cheers,
Carl
