HW: Hawkfan12

[cjohnson]

       Speaking of Hawkfan 12, you might recall that there are two
       different versions of this item:  LP and cassette.

       The 12" vinyl included the early HW song "Countdown" (now on the
       BBC One CD I think), which Brian Tawn had licensed from the BBC for
       inclusion on exactly 500 LPs (or something like that).

       When the LPs sold so well that Brian decided to re-issue them on
       cassette, he realized that his BBC agreement did not extend to
       cassettes.  Therefore, rather than risk the ire of the BBC, he
       replaced "Countdown" with some other short electronic noodling.
       If I remember correctly, this new selection was also named
       "Hawkfan 12".
