The Flicknife Years 1981–1988

~ Release by Hawkwind (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Box cover mentions source of albums this is from, but likely different editions\edits. For example disc 1, track 3 is the shorter 6mins Robot, not the full 8mins version. But disc 1, track 7 is the longer speed corrected version of Human Beings.

Times here cross checked with actual CD and Spotify.
