One just sold for $78 on Ebay, another for $67.  Fucking ridiculous.  Isn't
this one in the queue to be reissued soon?  Or am I that confused?

This is getting totally out of hand.  Nobody seems to be able to find
Warrior anymore, and 25 Years On and PXR5 are impossible to find for a
reasonable price.  And (as we all predicted), the Remasters of the Universe
are already becoming quite rare.

Of course, plenty of rehashed Yuri Gagarins and Acid Daze comps. to be had.

It would be nice to have a 'Remasters, Part II' to include Warrior, ASAM,
QSC, PXR5, and 25 Years On...at least they'd all be back in print for
awhile.  Of course, they were on a bunch of different labels and who knows
how to get them all licenced together.  I think ASAM's are the only 'easy'
ones to find?  And the Griffin QSCs (weird cover anyway) are likely to
disappear soon.

Hawkwind would be a lot more popular if the supply of their albums actually
matched the demand, instead of it being completely opposite.  Isn't there
*one* label-head in the world that understands this?  Rob Godwin...if you're
still out there, please get ahold of your own backcatalog again!!

Grakkl (FAA), who stupidly traded away his 25 Years On CD (before
recognizing the rarity), but who owns two different Warrior CDs (not trading
either...one's the boxset version w/ Motorhead, and the other (Mojo) is
autographed by NikT).
