My copy also has the pages out of sequence. I too paid £5.99 & that seems to
be a fairly common retail price for the jewel-case remasters (bar 1999
Party), so I doubt that it was reduced due to the booklet fiasco. Bargain
price for great-sounding classic Hawkwind, though. And if it's any
consolation (which, of course, it won't be!), I too paid 4x for the
digi-pak.
