2 stars The liner notes to this one says that it is a collection of outtakes, b-sides and live tracks from the early seventies period of Hawkwind. Since this is the only album of theirs that I own, I can't really say how important these tracks are. But at least I purchased it for a ridiculously low price from a cutout bin.

From this collection, I would wonder why this band is included here. All of the songs are simple, sloppy jams, with mediocre poetry chanted or spoken over it. Nothing is terribly adventurous, even for it's time. Most of it sounds the same.

The recording quality of the live tracks is fair.

If you are a Hawkwind fan, this may be something you want. For the rest of us, if you find it for a dollar, maybe pick it up.
