I don't think this compilation ever made it into the Codex simply because
I wasn't prepared to buy 4CDs just to get 4-ish Hawkwind tracks that
already existed on albums (ooops - my Kollektors persona is clearly
showing signs of wear...).   I strongly suspect that the Hawkwind tracks
are all from their original albums but if anyone has the compilation and
would like to give the appropriate tracks a quick run through to check
this then we could update the Codex accordingly!

Dunno where the BOC items come from though.

thanx

I'll try and get round to Love In Space and add that as well.  Shouldn't
take long...
