Hawkwind. 1970 England


It all starts here for Dave Brock and company. There are traces of their blues rock past along with a clear fixation for late 1960s Pink Floyd. Hawkwind will never be accused of being great songwriters, and that's true here as well. And they're also pretty sloppy, which is part of the allure honestly. A legendary band that earns that status, but in the oddest manner.


Ownership: CD: 2010 Liberty (Japan). I've never owned this one on LP, with my first copy being the rather atrocious One Way CD (1992) that I replaced some years ago. The mini-LP is quite nice and replicates the original LP gatefold cover. There are 4 relevant bonus tracks as well, which I think can be found on some of the later CDs too.
