Spirit of The Age

[Jill Strobridge]

There are two Spirit of the Age CDs (track lists below).   The second is
one of the endless re-issues and you want to avoid it so if it's offered
to you - check the tracklist first!    The one you mention is the
Charisma years compilation and strongly recommended if you don't have
many of the Charisma period albums (Astounding Sounds, PXR5, Hawklords,
QS&C etc).    Best of all - it has Fable of a Failed Race - and
Steppenwolf - and Forge of Vulcan - and Hassan I Sabha - and - oh it's a
good compilation.  Buy it anyway.        jill
