Sound quality is very good to excellent on the main
album.  It sounds like a professionally mastered CD.

On the bonus tracks, the sound quality is "pretty
good"; heck, better than many of the more commonly
available Hawkwind albums.  Couldn't swear that they
weren't ripped from vinyl, because the occasional
distortion could be from a badly aligned needle or it
could be an artifact of the original cheapo recording.
I haven't gone through it with headphones, but I didn't
notice any telltale needle hiss or dusk clicks.
