This is one of the not terribly good compilations that seem to be issued
periodically for Hawkwind.   In this case the date of issue is
surprisingly late and Castle Communications were a legitimate outlet for
Hawkwind for a while so it's one of the official issues (I think!).    It
mostly comprises tracks taken from the Anthology/Acid Daze set but for
full details of each track see the Codex.   That'll tell you where the
original versions appear.

not as such but if the discography and codex can't answer your questions
we'll do our best here!
