Codex question: open for debate

[Ian Pointer]

Having separate Annexes for remixes for me sounds
sensible to me. However the band themselves have
'covered' their own songs a few times, e.g. Mask of
Morning (Hawkwind and Electric Teepee), Deathtrap
(PXR5 and Alien), Psychedelic Warlords (Mountain Grill
and Huw's vocal version B side). Not too mention the
numerous differing live version - so the remixes
should be there.
