Hi,
Just spend the best part of 2 hours combing the Codex in some detail.
Whilst it's answered loads of questions for me, it's also raised even more, so can anyone answer of the following for me please.

1. Is The Golden Void merely a vinyl copy of the Glasgow 82 BBC show?
2. Is The Cyberspace Conspiracy a vinyl or CD bootleg of Bedrock (Nottingham 90)?
    If so is it from the TV or video (which I believe had Wind Of Change as an extra track)?
3. Is the Theta Orionis bootleg of a gig or a mish-mash of rare tracks?
4. Strange Daze 97 - is this a compilation of bands, if so, what's the HW tracks?
5. Is Burn Me Up from Elf & Hawk the same as the Brockspace song?
6. I'm confused with the various releases of Live Chronicles.
    I've got the first GWR CD release which is the same as the vinyl, but is the double the one with the pink/orange/white Elric   sleeve? And what's the version with the bonus CD all about?
7. Is the track on Xenon EMG or EMC (and what does it mean?)?
8. Strange Daze 98 (see point 4 above)
9 Is Love In Space the only HW track on Wir Sind Der Kinder?
10. What unique stuff is on Ambient Anarchists?
11. Can anybody run me off a copy of the first cassette release of Weird 105 (with Paranoia).

I should have made a note as I was going through it, but I notice that there are a handful of tracks (4 or 5) that have never made it onto CD - stuff like Zones, Processed, Raping Robots, When The Going Gets Tough etc.

As for the Codex itself, an absolutely magnificent document incorporating humungus amounts of time & effort.
Had Mike & Jill not done this, then HW fans would be even more in the dark and totally confused about releases than we already are!
Keep up the good work.
Will the Weird CDs be added (Doug Pearson did a fine job of analysing them)?
Presumably Family Tree & Brockspace & Atomhenge will also be added?
It would be a great shame to let things slip having kept on top of releases thus far.
