Nothing.  Except maybe he played with T. Rex and they did gigs with Hawkwind
IIRC.

But really the connection is...."Well, Brian P., we've got to get some of
this stock the hell out of our warehouse, so can you think of a way to
gather all of these roughly similar items together in new and inventive ways
and pass them off to the public as if it was a fabulous new boxset that we
put a lot of effort into creating?  OK, great! Let's do it!"

Actually, given that they sell them for about $20 apiece, it's a good deal
even if you've got one or two of them already (easily dumped on friends),
and I've gotten several.  I look at it as a way to buy a 'cut-out' without
the packaging being compromised.
