nope - and I fear you will never even be able to trade your tape
since you have included chunks of pre-recorded vinyl on it as well.

I confess that I was not initially involved in making this list although
I am *gladly* now helping in its creation wherever I can and I should
probably have kept my big mouth shut in the first instance but IMO:

Since you have given a recording date for the two live Stockholm
tracks I'm sure it would be no problem to include in the listing that
there is a one-off CDR that contains a live version of Levitation and
Arrival in Utopia from Stockholm whatever-the-date-is.   And I'm
equally sure that it would also be worth a mention, together with a
strong warning, that the same CD has taken the rest of the tracks
straight off Acid Daze.   It still won't rate an entry in the Codex!

Sadly I don't think you'll have much of a market for 9 Acid Daze tracks
and 2 live in Stockholm ones - not to mention the fact that your
Hawkwind Passport will probably be confiscated by the band the instant
you set foot in this country (which reminds me - has anyone had their
Passports returned yet?)

However your two live tracks are duly listed - never fear!

But for heavens sake - it's just a list!   I actually find it rather
interesting to know which versions of (say) Ghost Dance are live and
which are studio and what the different dates are - the style of the
track differs fundamentaly depending on which band members are
performing on it and there are definitely some periods of Hawkwind I
prefer than others and will listen to by choice!

But that's just my preference and I'm therefore helping to make this
listing because it is of interest to me.  But I don't expect everyone
will feel quite so interested so I have no doubt that there will in
due course be a "Komplete" listing for those who Kare about such things
and a reduced version to assist the curious with legit and available
releases.    That's the way of things.

But I'm sorry if the idea of making the list upsets you - if you prefer,
whenever I mail on the topic I'll put something into the header of any
messages as a warning that any mail with that in will be discussing it
- or if you feel it necessary I shall refrain from posting any
further mentions of it at all.
