Hawkwind collector question for any experts

[EliPXR5 at AOL.COM]

I sent this to the list yesterday, but I never received it, so I'm sending it 
again. Sorry in advance if it arives twice.
Dear List (but only for you MC would I dig these out of storage to report on 
them)
There are 3 of these releases that you speak of. Cleopatra released 3 
Flicknife albums as exact repros of their vinyl counterparts. Japanese style. Because 
they exactly reproduce the original Flicknife art, they don't say Cleopatra 
anywhere on them, but they were put out by Cleopatra. They are the original 
Hawkwind Friends and Relations (with the silver grey cover) , Zones, and This Is 
Hawkwind Do Not Panic.
This Is Hawkwind is reproduced as a miniature gatefold, with the photos from 
the gatefold vinyl release. It contains the fold out poster of the band 
onstage with Brock, Turner, Davey, and Thompson
playing in front of a light show, with the two headed Hawk logo on top. It 
opens up to 6 times the size
of a CD jacket. The CD contains all 4 sides of the vinyl, and is reproduced 
as a mini-vinyl with label, black disc and grooves. In all 3 of these the CD's 
are printed as mini-lps.
The color poster with Zones uses the top part of the album art with the 
Hawk's head, with a nice silhouette shot of Brock guitar in hand from the waist up 
superimposed over it.
The poster with Friends and Relations is a black and white shot of the band 
circa mid-seventies taken outdoors with House, Powell, Rudolph, King standing 
behind a seated Turner, Brock, and Calvert. Its printed with a silver tone, and 
has an art deco border, with the 2 headed  Hawk logo at the bottom. All of 
the posters are really nice.
Space Ritual Sundown was released only once on Cleopatra. I'm not sure which 
year is accurate. Its a cardboard box that contains a rerelease of Space 
Ritual Vol.2. Its very cool. If I could have only one copy of this on vinyl or CD 
I'd keep this one. It has the best audio quality presentation of this material 
I've ever heard. The top of the box reproduces the Doremi art in silver on 
black, and says Space Ritual Sundown on the bottom. The bottom has the art from 
the Space Ritual program that shows the dancer from behind in front of the 
skull and crossbones alien head, printed small, and the song and muiscnaut 
credits. It has several inserts, a small black and white copy of the program, and a 
color poster that opens up to 8 times CD cover size that combines two great 
photos. The bottom part of the poster is a color shot of the band playing live in 
front of the light show, a blurry stobed photo. The band are Calvert at the 
mic, Nik in a blur of electricity, a blurred nude Stacia,Simon King, Lemmy, 
Brock,and Del seated at the synths.. Above them in the light show is an older 
band photo with Del, Nik, Lemmy, Calvert, Terry Ollis , Dave Brock, and DikMik . 
The package also contains a 20 page color booklet. It contains a lot of nice 
photos by Jorgen Angel from the Space Ritual tour, of the band and Stacia 
dancing au natural. It also reproduces all of the art from the first Pinnacle vinyl 
release of Vol.2 in the book. The cover of the booklet is art that strongly 
resembles the lay out of the original Space Ritual album cover, but completely 
redrawn. Finally the CD comes in a cardboard double CD digi-pak in the style 
of the original Space Ritual gatefold. Its a nice package, and again the audio 
quality is nicely restored. And now, I'm getting a little freaked out, becuase 
in the credits in the booklet there is a thank you to Mike Coleman! So. Mike, 
I think you need this.
Hope this helps. Yours as ever, Eli
