Agreed, although Mike's original request (IIRC) was for albums with
Hawkwind songs on them, so that would disqualify 'Sphynx' (remakes of
songs from Xitintoday) and 'Prophets of Time' (remakes of ICU songs),
although the latter is completely worth it (IMHO) for Simon House's violin
playing on "Stonehenge Who Knows", which marginally out-does the original
for that reason, even though Fred's playing on the original is also
excellent.  (Don't worry, Trev, I like the original ICU versions of all
the other songs better.)

Yeah, I'd agree that one is more essential than the Cleopatra albums
(especially as it contains material very similar to the two live albums).
I got mine used at Amoeba in LA, for whatever that's worth ...
