Don't think Weird # 8 made it to CD, at least not as such. Both the 'Special
Releases' section at Mission Control and the 'Albums and Compact Discs'
section at Andrew Dawson's 'Hawkwind Files' site only list Weird #s 1-7.

Robert Godwin's 'Illustrated Collector's Guide to Hawkwind' describes Weird #
8 as: "Early Hawkwind and Dave Brock solo pre-Hawkwind", which sounds quite a
bit like the 'Dawn of Hawkwind' CD that Voiceprint released a few years ago.
Voiceprint released two versions: one with a full-sized "scrap-book style"
booklet and a jewel-case version with a cut-down, or maybe just a smaller
version, of the booklet.

I have checked CD Services(www.cd-services.com),CD
Universe(www.cduniverse.com), Tower Records(www.towerrecords.com) andCDNow(www.cdnow.com; Amazon is in
cahoots with CDN, so I would assume it's at Amazon, too) and they all list DoH.
CDS and Tower both list it as in stock, the rest just list it (maybe they can
get it, maybe they can't!) CD Services list theirs as the jewel case version;
I don't remember what versions the other sites are selling.
