BOC: So long and thanks for the fish

[Abra Cadabra]

both Heaven Forbid and Curse Of The Hidden Mirrors are nice albums
from the latter day BOC. I guess unlike the continuing ship sailing of
Hawkwind, BOC is pretty much "all is said and done and discussed" and
less BOC fans in that sense...

I was a HW fan and got into BOC after this list in the mid 90s...
picked up Workshop Of The Telescopes and did some BOC trades i used to
find CD copies of Imaginos used in Oslo and traded them rarities here
for HW or other stuff...
