PXR5 (Nimbus press)

~ Release by Hawkwind (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

The Virgin CD issue was mastered from different tapes from the original vinyl version. The most notable difference is that "High Rise" is the live version without studio overdubs, so starts with a clunk rather than the smooth bass intro and has a coarser vocal from Calvert. Also "PXR5" gains an introduction that's missing from the original.
