There is, of course, "In the Mood (nude)" on the Inner City Unit album
_Maximum Effect_.  It starts of pretty normal and then heads off into a
high-speed gonzoid version.  Great stuff.  Maybe Nik was introducing a
bit of ICU into the Hawkwind repertoire (a la "Watching the Grass Grow").
Is the cover on the tape fairly straightforward, or does it really pick
up speed as it goes on?

Cheers,

Paul.
