[Doug Pearson]

Hello, Knut!  Good to hear from you!  Glad to hear that you're still
working on the Calvert website, I look forward to seeing it back up under
the auspices of Aural Innovations.

Yes.  I'm sure Bernhard can chime in with exactly which gig ;^) (it may be
in the list archives somewhere, but I'm too lazy to check at the moment).

Not major, no.  They sound a tiny bit different, perhaps, but both are
acceptable sound quality.  There's no real reason to buy 'Thrilling
Hawkwind Adventures' since all tracks from it are present on the double-
CD 'Atomhenge 76'.

I'd consider 'Atomhenge 76' to be an absolute "must-buy" for serious
Calvert fans (great booklet with lots of photos, too; photos of the
correct lineup, even!).  I'd also put Weirds 101-105 in that category
(although they all include photos of the *wrong* lineups).

I believe I've seen secondhand copies of 'Atomhenge 76' inexpensively
around San Francisco.

P.S. Where are you (or other Germans on the list) located?  I will be in
Stuttgart (again) in early December (6th-15th) ...
