HW: Calvert - where to go from here?

It appears that I've at long last "discovered" Bob Calvert...

I finally bought "Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters", and it's
been in my CD player constantly for the past 2 weeks.  I particularly
like such lesser known pieces as "Hero With A Wing" (my favorite song
on the album), and "Catch a Falling Starfighter".  I also like his
more thoughtful/introspective versions of the "rock" numbers that
Hawkwind often covers.

So, with that in mind... what to get next?  _Lucky Leif and the
Longships_ seems like the obvious choice - is it comparable
stylistically?  And knowing that this is always a loaded question on
BOC-L... is it as good?  :-)

Also, what kind of material is on Freq (aren't there 2 versions of
this)?  And is _Tales from the Atomhenge_ worth getting?

Thanks for any info.
