        A friend of mine bought this on sight, though I have yet to get
her to buy any Hawkwind... it was the Bonzo Dog band connection that did
it I think. The remastering is audible over the vinyl, which is what I'd
heard before, but I don't know how it compares to the old CD. A bit
clearer, not really any crisper it seemed to me. What interested me is
that sticker on the front, "Remastered from original tapes, faithfully
restored artwork" yadda yadda; I've only seen these on Castle/Essential
releases before. Do Castle own BGO too?

        Or indeed any of the other BGO Calvert stuff? In fact, more
importantly, what about the Man stuff they have, of which there is more
and worse recorded?

        Where did this thing come from? What else is on it? It sounds
fascinating... where did they get the masters to remaster?

        The colour... out of space! Yours,
