HW: Codex -some quick answers JD

[Kevin Sommers]

Some  clarifications:
4. On the untracklisted Disc 2 is Introduction/Kauai, Assassins of
Allah/Space Is Their (Palestine) and Brainstorm/Hawkwind In Your Area.  A
fantastic compilation of American Space Rock; if you don't have it, you need
it (from Jim Lascko:
http://www.strange-trips.com/docs/merchandise.html )
7. The track is 'EMC' and perhaps only Harvey knows what it means....
8. "THIS WASN'T PUT OUT OFFICIALLY" means that no record company made money
on it (actually no one did, and in fact like most things surrounding Strange
Daze, fans' money was lost), but had the blessing of all bands on it.  The
Hawkwind track on it is 'Starfire Mountain Dreaming'
10. Actually the version of 'Love In Space' on it is unique - it's the
guitar-drenched live version from the VH-1 appearance, my favorite version
of all!
