HW: Hawkwind covers of other artists

[Stephen Lindsey]

Well maybe we'll get somewhere on this Bring It On Home mystery after all.....

reviewing the story so far:

Well not having the Buskers album, I was waiting to see who did,
Jill to the rescue:

Now, my guess is that this is a solo version (given the albums called the
Buskers) rather than the Dharma Blues Band.  This would then make it the
third known version with Mr Brock on it (both of the other versions are
definitely "band" versions, its just not clear who the "band" is on at least
one of the versions (the version on the Hawkwind Collection).

Does anyone have the 69 Peel session to compare against the Collection version ?
This would confirm the existance of a version by a lineup called "Hawkwind"
as distinct from the Dharma Blues Band and the (presumed)  Brock solo version.

Fascinating stuff eh !! Bet Dave can't remember !!
