HW: Warrior reissue (was Re: OFF: Cranium rocks)

[bedroom trancer]

would be nice though if someone got round to releasing warrior again.
I used to have it on cd but felt that P.X.R.5. on CD was worth swapping it
for.
Cheers for that Filip! :-)
All i need now is Astounding and i'll have all the Charisma material
hawkwind/hawklords did on charisma.
