emdiar wrote: Hey Blacks! One question. Your 'battered vinyl' copy of PXR5. Which version is it? I own the very first issue with the uncensored artwork on the back (i.e. the wrongly wired British three pin electrical plug). Almost as soon as it was released, idiots started referring to the cover when unsure of how to wire a plug, despite the warning "H.M.Govt. Health Dept' WARNING: THIS WIRING CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH." Result: A few small fires and the odd frizzy hair-do. All unsold copies were quickly recalled, and a large unpeelable sticker was slapped on every cover in the hope of curtailing a deluge of law suits. The picture no longer appeared on all subsequent reprints. The original copies with the sticker are at least as rare as those without, though re releases with no plug (visible or obscured) are of little interest to all but the most fanatical HW completist.    Anyway, on topic- No real list as such, as I've just acquired a load of great sounds which I'm busy absorbing at the mo. namely: Litmus, Kryptothesie, Omnia, Krom Lek (not Kromlek or Kromlech, but Krom Lek), the Magic Mushroom Band, Acid Mother's Tempel, and a few old faves, like Ozrics' 'Erpland' and Here & Now's 'Ufoasis'. Yeah, I've come over all Space Rock all of a sudden, having just received my ticket for the Sonic World Fest, and pre-booked my tickets for the Hawkfest. Bring on the summer.

Hi emdiar

Good to hear from you! My vinyl PXR5 is not rare at all as far as I'm aware, certainly not for a serious HW collector. On the front cover you can see wires and three 13 amp fuses, but the Hawkwind logo obscures how the wiring actually works. The back cover is just black with the track listing and credits.

I didn't know that about the artwork on the orginal pressing. Thats quite a funny story, and exactly the sort of mess Hawkwind would get themselves into back then!
