I am aware that the first pressing of PXR5 came with a hawkwind family tree.

There is one on ebay now

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hawkwind-PXR-5-LP-2-Family-Trees-1st-Press-Charisma-/390222620546?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Records&hash=item5adb14a782

Can any one comfirm, who has the record with tree, if the ebay tree looks correct.

Thks

Sorry, can't confirm, but very interested in the answer myself!
Please step up anyone.

I managed to find this on popsike.

This looks much more like a poster unlike the ones on ebay. So IMO, the ebay ones are not right.

Agree.
And since i have the original album (minus the family tree), and this item is £26 already, i guess i'll wait till i'm certain it's the proper family tree!

Hello there- I "think" I can cast some light on this, having had the kollekting bug about as bad as it gets, and still rubbing shouders with the most afflicted to this day. While I confess to never having bothered with the poster myself, I have had the lions share of PXR5's.
The way I understand it, is that as nice as the family tree poster is to have, that is not the ACTUAL GOLDEN PRIZE!!! The reall nugget is to get a copy with the original VOUCHER OFFER for the poster. You had to send it to get the poster. That voucher is rare as shark's teeth. Now regarding the posters, I can tell you that the larger copy with the red titlle is NOT the reall McCoy. Well it is, but it is not. That is form a music paper like Sounds or Melody Maker or whatever those titles were. But it IS the Pete Frame tree. As for the smaller one, I cannot tell (from memory) by first glance if that is a reproduction or the original, but I can get a friend to look if you want. I'm thinking the owner just put both versions in...

I just looked at the copy on Flciker....I do not recall my friend's copy having the black edges or the little Charisma logo but I say "sweet"
If I ever pursue the poster it's going to have to look like that, and so this means the copy on eBay sucks all the way around, unless you want the trade paper version.

More on this- I remember now that there was a smaller version of this reprinted somewhere I just cannot recall exactly where it was, this guy on eBay obviously just copied that. I have one of the largest HW colletions in the world on a virtual disc and I am sure I have a picture of the poster but I am certain there is no need to look, as the one shown by the previous poster is certainly the correct one.....

Cheers for the info!
No wonder one get's a bit confused every now and then........

Sorry I was so confusing. I should have allowed myself 2 mins before posting and at first I wasn't even thinking that I surely have a picture of it. Maybe I'm also a little bitter looking at the virtual collection.....

Whats the deal on posting Sale lists on the forum. Have to part with some stuff... Jap CDs of Xenon and Space Bandits - still in original shrinkwrap etc... foreign 7" pic slvs - that kind of thing

Why don't you open a new thread in 'Any other business'

OK ..V
LP-check
Poster-check
Voucher Stubb-check
we're almost there.....just one last little thing......tell me your copy includes the sticker but NOT covering the wiring and then I'll be jealous!!!!
Of course they probably stopped doing the poster offer by then but who hasn't pulled a switcheroo or 2 in their day?? and speaking of the sticker, I recently saw a copy on eBay with it having been CLEANLY REMOVED and sepreately included. thinking myself oh-so-clever, and thinking myself to have accidentally stumbled upon the answer to that mystery just days (maybe 2 weeks?) prior, I deciided to put my steaming theory to the test with my single but expendible LP copy of PXR5, and I was wrong!!! that almost never happens (hehe), anybody know the answer to how that was done???

Couldn't tell how it's done for sure, but maybe lighter-fluid or (not sure about the english word for this) patch-remover(?). To take off patches or bandage glue.
Both these fluids work fine on price-tags, stickers etc. with a little cottonpad and some patience.
Or, as an over-the-top-collector-and-fan that i am, one could always do as i: buy all three lp-versions. the wrongly wired plug, the sticker version and the simple black version (and the Atomhenge cd!)
Still haven't found the Family Tree poster though.....

Oh interesting!!! my favorite trick has been using a hair-dryer to supplant stickers, but I now need a new one and I don't think it would have worked on the PXr5, which has incredilbly difficult glue. I must thank you profusely though, because I have been using an amercian product called "goo gone" for the flat-out removal of price tags and such, but it's a bit oily and can discolour certain texture and at very least make me real nervous waiting for it to vanish, so I think the LF is going to do great for me. As for the 3 versions of Pxr5, I totally agree and that is what I did before including collecting by matrix run-offs (NEVER try this wilth original Astounding Sounds unless you like getting company in a nuthouse). But you see, being the newer, older and improved poor SOB that I am now, the only way I can keep the "big boys" nervous is to pull out stunts like getting the 4th version that has the sticker but NOT covering the wiring, although I must admit I'll probably end up with those 3 again.....it'll just be a while
I'm rich in a new way now!!! : )

Dunno why I didn't think of the ligher fluid as I've seen that done, but what is really important to me is that this may be suprerior to hair dryer when working with items still in shrink, for which I have a passion, and the HD is obviously not an option there!!! (and maybe beating the Goo Gone overall with it's lack of ability to seep through a tiny "breathe-hole")
I see you are in Norway?? You know PXR5 was pressed there with the cover made in Sweden!!!
Also, I was only trying to remove that sticker for the scientific experiment of it, since the front cover was damaged by another sticker from before "God" showed me the hair-dryer trick....
I LIKE PXR5, WITH the sticker, and for my collction that is how the first blue label version is classified, before the Virgin Classic blue label pressing.
