No, I think the remastered albums have totally managed to perfect the
Hawkwind sound and translate it especially well for high performance
stereos, it was just I was recently comparing the sound of the CD
unmastered and remastered versions of `In Search of Space' and found that
the original could have been better produced for its day

Not at all!! Just that it seems as if D.P. put a lot more effort into
tweaking the technology of the studio than Hawkwind, and personally I think
Hawkwind put more effort into their actual song construction outside of the
studio (pre-Levitation era of course) but then failed to translate this
onto vinyl as cleverly as D.P. and Black Sabbath managed to.
