        All very interesting. I can turn up appearances in _The Fifth
Element_, _Tomorrow Never Dies_, _Soul Survivor_, and _American Roulette_
(which is Hawkwind linked to Bruce Willis and indeed James Bond) on the
web and numerous copies of one single by him (`Fool') up for sale, but
nothing like a discography or anything. What numbers did he do with HW,
anyway, his own or theirs? And which ones of theirs if so? I see one of
the dates Bernhard gives (Reading Festival 1975) lists both him and
Calvert. Nik was playing too. _How_ many frontmen? Yours,
                                                          Jon
