can't really answer the other questions until I've checked the booklets
but:

      *   2a is a cut version of 2
>>>>  *   versions 4 and 6 both feature on the remastered Space Ritual Alive 2CD
      *   5a is a remixed version of 5
      *   6a is a different mix from 6
      *   there are two versions of Masters of the Universe on Assassins
          of Allah LP and Dawn of Hawkwind CD


As you will see - version 4 is the original first-time-ever-officially-
recorded-live version of MotU which was the one done at the Greasy
Truckers gig.   This is the gig which made the band famous (in effect)
since the original Silver Machine was recorded here too.   MotU isn't
*that* bad - what it lacks in 'blanga' it makes up for in laid-backness,
which is how things were then.....   Listen to the In Search of Space
track!
