That would be "Gimme Shelter" on the... _Gimme Shelter (Rock)_ charity
CD single. :-)  Samantha Fox is one of the vocalists on that version.
A version sans her vocals also appears on _It is the Business of the
Future to be Dangerous_.

"Gimme Shelter" is originally a Rolling Stones song.  It's one of the
few covers Hawkwind have ever done.  ("Cymbaline" by Pink Floyd is
another.)

Cheers,

Paul.
