I have a copy of this LP, which I bought in the 80s.  I don't know about
how legit it is: it could be the product of those interminable
re-releases that the Hawkwind _Anthology_ series seemed to spawn.  (I do
remember it was priced really cheaply.)  Anyway, you probably have all
the tracks already, as they're all previously released in the same
versions on _Do Not Panic_, the _Earth Ritual Preview_, and _Zones_.
Here's the track listing from the Hawkwind discography:

1985  Utopia 1984 Material from ERP, Stonehenge, and Zones  (Mausoleum)
        Levitation (Brock)
        Circles (Brock/Langton)
        Space Chase (Langton)
        Zones (Brock)
        Motorway City (Brock)
        Night Of The Hawks (Brock)
        Dragons And Fables (Langton)
        Utopia 1984 (Brock/Turner)
        Social Alliance (Brock)
        Watching The Grass Grow (Turner)

The cover was pretty cool.

Cheers,

Paul.
