I can see viewing the 79-88 "Huw era" as a piece, though nonetheless,  
the RCA albums always seemed to stand to one side, to me.  And,  
thematically, I don't think there's much connection between the Black  
Sword stuff and either Levitation or Xenon Codex (or much of anything  
else, barring WotEoT!); it's more in the style of music music that I  
feel the Live '79/Levitation stuff is closer to Black Sword or Xenon  
Codex than to the RCA material.  Dunno -- it's just a feeling! :)

Cheers,
Carl
