Artist:	HAWKWIND
Title:	Hawkwind
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 185LP

180 gram gatefold LP. "Their 1970 debut album (originally released on Liberty Records and produced with former Pretty Things guitarist Dick Taylor) perfectly introduces what was going to be a long and peculiar journey. A galactic blues-rock sound rightfully compared to Pink Floyd's early work. Hippie rock grooves and interplanetary guitar rides, echoed vocals and nonstop instrumental voyages. This is where it all began: (as original ads for the album proclaimed) 'Hawkwind Is Space Rock.'"

Title:	Space Ritual Sundown Vol. 2
Label:	ABSTRACT SOUNDS
Format:	2CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	ABT 096CD

2008 release. "The original version of Space Ritual is the definitive live document of U.K. space-rock heroes Hawkwind. Vol. 2 features tracks drawn from the same 1972 performances, but they're presented here in their original, unedited form. (Apparently the first volume involved a fair amount of post-production). The swirling electronics, space-cadet lyrics, and psychedelic guitars that made the band famous can be heard at their finest here. Motorhead fans, take note: this is where it all started for Lemmy, whose bass and vocals add plenty of drive to the proceedings."

Title:	Hawkwind
Label:	EMI (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	EMI 30028CD

Mid-line EMI reissue from 2007 (originally released in 1970), with 12-page booklet and four bonus tracks. "Over the course of the 1970s, British freaks Hawkwind came to be known as the ultimate space-rock band, with trippy, science-fiction-themed songs full of far-out electronic effects. Their first album, though, released at the tail end of the hippie era, finds them still hanging onto vestiges of both psychedelia and even folk-rock. 'Hurry on Sundown,' an acoustic strumfest left over from leader Dave Brock's busking days, is as far as one can imagine from the Hawkwind that fans would come to know. The rest of the record, extended improvisations built around simple, riff-based structures, sounds like a lysergically enhanced collision between Can and contemporaneous Pink Floyd. While all the electronic bells and whistles had yet to be firmly affixed to the Hawkwind spaceship, the mindset of these cosmic warriors was already very clearly focused on the farthest reaches of the galaxy."

Title:	In Search of Space
Label:	EMI (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	EMI 30030CD

Mid-line EMI reissue from 2001 of the second Hawkwind album (originally issued by UA in 1972), with deluxe 24-page booklet of photos & credits, plus a complete repro of the original album booklet: The Hawkwind Log ("a collage of texts and photos -- supposedly a found log-book of a spaceship, containing the cryptic last notes and contemplations of it's travellers through space - another seed of Calvert's concept of the soon to come Space Opera - Space Ritual"). With three bonus tracks: original single versions of "Seven By Seven", "Silver Machine" & "Born To Go". "ISOS established Hawkwind's style of hypnotic free-flowing improvisations, accompanied by tribal rhythms - in contrast with some acoustic guitar based pieces, remnants of Brock's busking days, often with a melancholic touch." Line up of: Nik Turner (saxophone, flute, audio generator, vocals); Dave Brock (vocals, electric & acoustic guitar, audio generator); Dave Anderson (bass, electric & acoustic guitar); Del Dettmar (synthesizer); Terry Ollis (drums, percussion); Dik Mik (audio generator); Robert Calvert (vocals).

Title:	Doremi Fasol Latito
Label:	EMI (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	EMI 30031

Mid-line EMI reissue from 2001 of the third Hawkwind album (originally issued by UA in 1972), with 12-page booklet of liner notes, photos & illustrations. The first Hawkwind album to feature the unbelievably heroic bass playing of Lemmy Kilmister, this is pure classic 70s space thunder, capped off by Lemmy's first composition for the group, "The Watcher" (a freaked out sequel to his Sam Gopel contribution, "You're Alone Now"). As good as it gets. With 4 bonus tracks. "On Doremi, ALL instruments were now wielded as weapons of psychic warfare as the Sonic Assassins commence to break down the bad vibe squad in the most reckless and stupor-fying ways. Doremi Fasol Latido saw their building energies emerge into a single vision, housed in a sleek black and silver chrome sleeve comprised of seven crossfaded tracks that were their heaviest, drug-numbed blur-outs ever...an album that succeeded in blurring all aural distinctions between inner and outer space; the near-constant use of VCS3 and audio generator provide a backdrop for the entire album as twinkling yet forbidding as a nighttime display of stars in the cold dead of night." -- The Seth Man/Head Heritage.

Title:	Space Ritual
Label:	EMI (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	EMI 30032

Mid-line EMI reissue from 2001 of the fourth Hawkwind album (originally issued by UA in 1973), with 24-page booklet of liner notes, photos & illustrations. Featuring the Doremi line-up (Brock, Lemmy, Nik Turner, DikMik, Del Dettmar & Simon King), plus the addition of Bob Calvert (on "poet and swazzle"), this was the group's finest moment and possibly rock music's ultimate integration of live sonics into skin-bumping cultural architecture. Perfectly presented here in remastered form with three bonus tracks. "It was all captured on this beautiful, psychic roar-out of a double live set. Culled from recordings made at The Liverpool Empire and The Brixton Sundown in late December, 1972, two tracks were so long they needed to be edited down to a 'mere' 88 minutes! The sheer power of the repetition represented here become mantric walls of sounds, all held together by Dave Brock's sonic mortar guitar and the stunning rhythm section of Lemmy Kilmister on bass and Simon King on stamina-driven drums." -- The Seth Man/Head Heritage.
