Laser's Edge here in the states has it for $15 a claims the CD (you say in your review it wasn't on CD back in 2005) has a 29 minute bonus track. Have you heard this?
Here is the write up from Ken Golden:
I believe this is the first official release
for this overlooked solo album from Hawkwind saxophonist Nik Turner.
Originally released in 1979 it features him backed by members of Gong
including Steve Hillage, MIquette Giraudy, Tim Blake and Mike Howlett.
It gets the full Mark Powell treatment - great remastering, detailed
liner notes and photos. Oh yeah...and a previously unreleased 29 minute
bonus track! Space is still the place...

the album was released on CD for the first time in 2007. my review is from 2006. the 29 minutes bonus track is Nik Turner improvising on flute inside the great pyramid

Golden is wrong about the first release; we have the vinyl and it says 1978 on it. the CD release contains the full booklet that came with the vinyl, with lots of photos, the lyrics, the line-up for the songs and other interesting stuff

Listened to it for the first time last night. Very meditative, hypnotic music with ceremonial chanting that gives an impression of ancient Egyptian ceremonies.

I hope you will write a good review of it; it is one of my favorite albums of all time (as you can tell by my own review of it)
