Once upon a time (1995-1996) I wrote a HW Top 100 discography, that I for
different reasons don't maintain seriosly anymore. (please gunzip those
things to do, to make more room for free time in my life)


Within, there's those entries:
----------------------------------
1988/12 2LP     (Flicknife SHARP 2045 - UK)
Gatefold sleeve. 32 pg T.A.T. booklet.
Sugarcube mispressing. Billed as a Hawkwind album.
----------------------------------
1988/12 2LP     (Flicknife SHARP 2045 - UK)
Different gatefold sleeve. 32 pg T.A.T. booklet.
Billed as "Traveller's Aid Trust" - (various artists)
----------------------------------


Got those two entitys in front of me.
The difference of the back cover is just that each song is entered with
[title only] on the first HAWKWIND T.A.T. album, but [artist - title] on the
second T.A.T. ONLY album.

I guess it's because a some fans was disappointed (as I was) of buying a
Hawkwind Double, that when playing had lot more non HW content than what
should be expected.

Both my copies has a 32pg booklet, and is identical.
I've also read about a 16pg booklet somewhere (Tawn discography?), but I
think that could be wrote "in a hurry", and therefore is false information.


I can also add the useful information that the runout groove differs on side
D, where the Sugarcube track is/is not. Other grooves are the same.

HAWKWIND T.A.T:  SHARP 2045-D1     Porky                       PR-E
T.A.T ONLY:      SHARP 2045-D2     A Porky Prime Cut      A    PR-E
