I think that’s actually a faux Penguin edition? I remember that set by a flickr friend because there was an imagined edition of Juraj Herz’s Morgiana as well:

Ah, that explains why I couldn’t find another copy anywhere! It’s convincing since Penguin often did this, I still have a copy of Steppenwolf somewhere that’s a film tie-in edition.
I just got a DVD of Morgiana, haven’t watched it yet.
“The Valerie Project” was performed by Greg Weeks and his band, Espers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espers_%28band%29
Yes, also Fern Knight. I saw Espers on their first tour here, I like them a lot.
I adore the film. And the Broadcast song! And I’m overcome with envy over your DVD of Morgiana!
