Although Dick Taylor produced the first Hawkwind LP, he didn't play a note
on it.  That's Huw Lloyd-Langton you hear wailing away on lead.  I noticed
in some of the magazine overviews that have cropped up recently surrounding
the Epoch-Eclipse release, it has been mentioned that Taylor played guitar
on the first album.  One wonders how these journalistic mistakes get made.
The problem is that once such a mistake appears in print, others will cite
it as a reference source, and soon there's a sea of misinformation.
