      Ejected from Hawkwind, Nik Turner found himself in Egypt with most of the then line-up of Gong and managed to record his flute from inside the Sarcophagus of the Great Pyramid. Lyrically based on the Egyptian Book of the Dead, this has been rerecorded & remixed endlessly, but this is the original (& IMO best) version, ripped from vinyl & carefully cleaned of clicks & pops with Audition.
