A lightweight, but sensibly budget-priced compilation rounding up the last few non-album jewels and gems omitted from Cleopatra's earlier Psychedelic Warlords collection.

Seven tracks include four reasonably rare single mixes, including the superlative "Seven by Seven" that backed early pressings of 1972's "Silver Machine" hit, and a pair of German edits of "Lord of Light" and "Paradox." A brief dip into the "friends and relatives"-style waters completes the set.

Two Robert Calvert solo tracks are taken from the singer's Captain Lockheed album -- both "The Right Stuff" and "Ejection" (present as another rare single mix) would later find a place in Hawkwind's own live set; while "The Weighing of the Heart and Negative Confession" was borrowed from former member Nik Turner's then-current repertoire, as he embarked on his own American tour, reigniting the long-ago promises that Hawkwind had once proffered.

The song's inclusion is, perhaps, a little bit of a cheat -- recorded 20 years after the rest of the album's contents, and several mindsets away from the madness that inspired those earlier recordings, it sounds dreadfully out of place at the end of the album.

There again, with no other primal Hawkwind rarities to choose from, what else could the compilers do? You'd be complaining just as loudly if you'd only got six songs, wouldn't you?.
