I saw it at the time, so it's my touchstone as a road-movie.  I'm sure I've
seen "Goodbye Pork Pie", but it hasn't stuck in my mind.  I think like so
many of these things, it's a question of timing and when you got into them.
 Just like no matter the virtues of the later stuff, I'll always love the
first three BOC albums above all, and the UA era Hawkwind stuff.
