it is a rip-off ! the main reason i ordered indepenant days was for the
live -assault and battery and the other bonus track from the flickknife
black sword version. the liner notes of the griffen independany days
graciously informed me that those two tracks were left off because they
belong more properly with the black sword release- the thing is is that
griffen has already issued black sword with the dojo version bonus tracks!
so does this mean the original bonus tracks will remain unissued in the
u.s.? I would think that being the collector that he is robert godwin
would want to preserve the integrity of the original independant days lps
obviously i'm wrong
griffens latest hawkwind releases have only been of slight necessity
 undisclosed files - mighy hawkwind & independant days
not too mush new here
