Yet another Hawkwind compilation! This band must have more than any other
band, bar maybe Uriah Heep! This is a collection of eight live recordings,
all from 1972 shows. You get Lemmy appearing on six tracks, the other two
live tracks on here were recorded after he left the band. The line-ups on
here are pretty near the classic line-up with mainstay Dave Brock joined by
the aforementioned Lemmy, Nik Turner, Dik Mik, Simon King and Del Detmar
amongst others. ‘Master of the Universe’ is here in all its space rock glory
plus the folk tinged ‘Hurry On Sundown’, plus other live favourates like
‘Sonic Attack’ and ‘Space’. The sound quality is fine and its not a bad
live snapshot of the band’s long and colourful history.
