All That Glitters may be generic, but if I remember correctly it has a real 'Sea Of Dust / Ameido Jungle' feel about it. I also bought When a Star Falls, when it first came out. To me that felt easily compatible with Greyhawk (I think I set it in the Kron Hills), indeed as much as the Basic Set modules did. There was something about the modules from the early '80s that seemed to fit 'Hawk style no matter how generic the setting..
I've heard that said about the Sea of Dust connection. I'll have to dig out the module and re-read it because I remember being disappointed with it in that regard (but can't remember exactly why I was disappointed anymore).

Quite possibly for the same reason that I was disappointed - it didn't expand Greyhawk in any way, and although it 'could' fit the setting, it would have been a better piece of work had it been specific and actually developped an area which was ripe for it IMO
After 1982 or 1983, generic AD&D modules stopped being set in Greyhawk and were set in generic worlds. Only the WG modules were specifically set in GH.

Not an accurate statement, I am afraid.
UK1 (Beyond the Crystal Cave), UK2 (The Sentinel), and UK3 (The Gauntlet) were all set in GH. I don't remember the exact location of UK1 but UK2/3 (a two parts module) were set on the border of the Hold of the Sea Princes.

I said after 82/83. See what Max said in the previous post.
The modules originally asked about weren't the early U/UK modules, but rather the ones published after TSR went 'generic'.

That module just begs to be set in the Rakers with its fanatical Pale-like priest.
Guess my initial impression that there was no Greyhawk content in them and that the settings were generic was unfortunately right.
I placed Eye of the Serpent in the Barrier Peaks (I believe) just west of the Duchy of Geoff (before the Greyhawk Wars).

In my first AD&D-campaign (a one-on-one) I used "Eye of the Serpent", to learn being a DM in AD&D with the player learning his part at the same time (we both came from D&D). UK5 is exeptionally well suited for this purpose and truly hooked us on AD&D.
As opposed to Max_Writer I set the adventure about 100 miles sout-by-southeast of Veluna City, where the Lortmils are close to a smallish forest. Thereby the adventure map in UK5 was matched with the Greyhawk map, as well as being close to the party's starting location Veluna City (I gave them a generic "theres a dungeon seven days journey down the road" adventure hook and had them swept away by the rocs on said road).
