The US Forces album is without doubt the rarest. There's also stuff like
the claimed bootleg vinyl "Hawkwind Mind Journey" though I don't know of
anyone with this except Brian Tawn. The Hassan singles are definitely
rare as are the Hurry On Sundown single and the Quark/Iron Dream one.
Sonic Attack in the cloth bag is pretty rare. Kings of Speed,
Glastonbury Fayre and Greasy Truckers less so.

I'm looking for the US Forces album and the Hassan singles and you can
be sure that if you get them I'll cover your costs and then some.
