Well ... there was the Dead Kennedy's album insert poster that Giger did,
which earned Jello Biafra an obscenity trial (and eventual acquittal,
thank you First Ammendment).

- "Lizard Johnny" / "Freak Shop USA" 7" on Circuit Records
- demo cassette from the Circuit era (containing one of the 2 tracks, the
first MM version of "Brainstorm", and an early version of "TAB")
- "Murder" / "Tractor" 7" on Primo Scree/Caroline
- 12"/CD on Glitterhouse containing one track from the above 7" (both
tracks on the CD, I think), *remakes* of the two songs from the first 7",
plus an early version of "Nod Scene" (and one other 'Spine of God' track,
perhaps?)
- 'TAB ... 25' CD on Glitterhouse

There was also a second demo cassette (I believe it contained Glitterhouse-
era recordings of several 'Spine of God' tracks), but I don't have that
one ...

BTW one source of the rumor that Hawkwind will open for Monster Magnet in
the USA this fall can be found here:
