Tracks 1 & 2 are listed as coming from the first LP, 'Hawkwind'. Track 2 is an 'excerpt', but isn't identified as from part 1 or 2 as it is listed on the 'Hawkwind' LP.

Track 3 is also on 'In Search of Space', although this is a live version, recorded on 22-Dec-72 at Liverpool Stadium, the same set as used for the 'Earth Ritual' LP (their greatest IMHO), and not previously available.

Track 4 was recorded live at The Roundhouse on 13-Feb-72. Interesting that it was never included on the 'Doremi Fasol Latido' studio LP (later '72), or as part of the 'Earth Ritual' set.

Track 5 is the single released in April '73, as the followup to Silver Machine, debuting at no. 34 in the charts. It was withdrawn two weeks after release when it coincided with a series of terrorist bomb attacks in London.

Track 6 is lifted straight from 'Doremi', 7 from 'Hall of the Mountain Grill' and 8 from 'Warrior on the Edge of Time'. Track 8 has reappeared in more modern Hawkwind LPs as Void of Golden Light, e.g. 'The Business Trip'.

Whilst a good compilation, it is just a compilation. Except for tracks 3 and 4 these are just tracks lifted from other albums. However, those are tracks that the real Hawkwind fan will want in his collection. It's interesting how Silver Machine, although a big hit, has never really featured in their own estimation, as witnessed by how few times it appears on any albums or live sets.
