        From what I remember of SRII then `Space' is a composite of `Space
is Deep' and `Electronic No. 1' - the actual tracks are however the same.
However, I have the Castle Best Of and the `Space Is Deep' on there is
different; only, however, in mix. The sax is much higher up, the guitar
slightly lower, the drums also. I only have the remaster of SR so can't
compare it with the unfiltered original, but I'd say that the Codex might
benefit from a 1(a) to represent this different mix. I'm not sure which of
the above have 1 and which the proposed 1(a) but I could give it a fair
guess. Yours,
