Ah well - I guess it's time to stir things up a wee bit..........

ok - I've just done some listening and this is how my first suggested
entry for the updated Codex will look.

Space Sex
  1     Alienn4 [vinyl version only]

Love In Space
  1     White Zone
  2*    Love In Space CD and vinyl

          * version 2 contains an edited segment of version 1 as an
instrumental section.

=============================================


IMO the version 2 Love in Space has, I'm fairly sure, grown out of Space
Sex [if you'll excuse the pun] - the mood and feel of the tracks are very
similar but they are quite different and I'd not feel confident in
relating them in the Codex.

Alan Davey's instrumental version 1 LiS on White Zone has been
edited right down to a couple of minutes, speeded up and had extra
instruments added over the top - nonetheless the distinctive sound of
his track is clearly still there in the instrumental section of
version 2 Love In Space between the two sets of vocals.   So I'd be
inclined to connect the two versions by a comment although numbering
them separately.

other opinions anyone?

Wish I had an answer to these as well!  Anyone?
