The original version can be found on the "Spirit Of The Age" compilation (and
probably on 352 other Hawkwind compilations, but I'm just speaking for what I
own...). Having one of the first copies (LP) of PXR5, it was quite jarring to
hear a different version of "High Rise". When I made my car tape of the CD, I
swapped out the 2nd version for the originial found on the "SotA".
