Regarding the CD release of the reunion show...
I think it would be an easy matter, if no label is interested in putting it
out, for HW to release it themselves (much like with the Live 97 disc) and
advertise it sufficiently to make good sales.  I might point out the example
of Klaus Schulze who put out a 50 CD set of unreleased material recently
(yes kids, that's right, 50 CDs!) in a limited edition on his own label, and
it's a super success story!  I would bet Hawkwind could put out a box of
like 10 unreleased CDs of live shows demos etc. in a limited edition and
they would sell in the thousands quite easily... just a thought!
