      Just picked up this LP and was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the vinyl and mastering. Frankly, I was a bit shocked at how good the reverb and distortion sounded on my system, which I attribute solely to the production and not to my system.

        Am I the only one who hears that track #2, 'Born to Go', really is the 1973 Dave Brock/Robert Calvert written 2nd track from Hawkwind - Space Ritual (and Hawkwind - Lord Of Light / Born To Go 7"), as well as on some 50+ other HW albums...?!?

        PS. Yup, I know they're all covers, but only 'The Diamond Mine' has credits...
