"The Space Ritual Alive In London"
Oct 14, 2005, 18:30
Stevo,

In no order:

"Cosmic Overdrive"
a) Sundown Brixton 1972
b) Cambridge Corn Exchange 1971
c) Wembley Empire Pool 1973

is but another way of repackaging the following titles and having people shell out for the umpeenth time:

a) "Space Ritual Vol. 2" (the earlier version. Same tracks but FAR inferior quality to the recent PP/Cleopatra release)
b) "Text Of Festival" (Which is one of the few places with Terry Ollis on drums and interesting extended lengths, but muddy quality makes it good for the archives only)
c) "Bring Me The Head of Yuri Gagarin" (Excellent performance, great Calvert rant piece but really, it's an audience tape recorded from a position far from the stage and the quality is very low-fi)
-------------------------------------------------------
Yep, that's the original "Space Ritual" --
Probably a take off on the original UA label, which read:
'The Space Ritual Alive In Liverpool and London'
-------------------------------------------------------
The only footage from this period Hawkwind I've ever seen is the promo film they had made in '72 of "Silver Machine" that they had TOTP show in lieu of showing up... They mime to the single version dubbed over it
-------------------------------------------------------
BeAware: buy the Purple Pyramid re-issue before it goes out of print. It's limited. Buy it...BUY IT...
