Dave Cohen answered the following:

"At the Time Centre" was also on the Flicknife "Best of HW, F.& R."
CD where it is listed as merely "Time Centre".

I am aware of a Moorcock track entitled "Harlequin's Birthplace".
As I recall this title is used on one of several songs Moorcock
created for a musical work of "Glorianna".  I'm sure a more
knowledgable M.M.-afficionado could verify or provide more details.

Other songs for "Glorianna" possibly included:
  John Dee's Song
  Quire's Song
  Ingleborough, Glorianna, Montfalcon

No specific HW connection that I am aware of.


 >>Calvert-tracks: Greenfly & the rose, Lord of the hornets,
This is possibly the 7" single.  If so, it was recently re-released
as 2 bonus tracks on Cleopatra Records' "Freq" CD.

 >Revenge, Fascism-futurism,
These are the songs from Calvert's "Revenge" private-release cassette.
This also had a Pete Pavli electronic noodling on the other side of
the 20min cassette, if I remember right.  Except I believe that the
song "Facism" is actually titled "Racism"...

 >Bugatti, Isadora, Messenger&morpheus, Solstice, Stranger...,
These are new to me.  %^/

 >Steppenwolf.
I imagine that this is the Calvert/Adrian Parr demo of "Steppenwolf"?
