I don't have the Hassan I Sabha 7" but I know two people who have both
of them. The standard BBC Transcription Disc is rumoured to have 24
copies around and at one point I'd located six of them. I do have
another BBC Transcription Disc with two live tracks "Silver Machine" and
"Brainstorm" on it as well as Bowie and Pretty Things. Mine is the only
copy I've ever heard of.

Another rarity is Brian Tawn's copy of "Hawkwind Mind Journey" which I
understood to be an acetate but I've seen someone on this list print a
catalogue number for it. AFAIK Brian's copy is the only one know to
hawkfandom.
