It looked to me like there was some writing at the top of the album cover where the record wear shows through. I'm I right or is that just record wear?

Laura there is no writing on the cover

Jim, thanks again for turning me on to Rough Mix.

You are entirely welcome, mi lady. I haven't seen much from you about it on the forum. Thought maybe you didn't think much of it. I think it's a classic, as you know. Listen well.

I have seen and never bought this record one million times. Is it any good? What's it like?

DaveyW, This Hawkwind is on my 'short list' is it as good as I have read about? cheers, Jim

Davey, Bill & Jim,

I think you have a pretty good idea of the type of music I like and some I don't like. Do you think Hawkwind is something I might like? Where would you start if you were brand new to the band (like me)?

Thanks,

Laura

Hi Laura,

Hawkwind are more of an "experience" - A mixture of sounds as well as tunes.
There's a Sci-Fi bent too, thanks to the contributions of Michael Moorcock.

Given your posts to date I don't believe they'll be making your Want List - but here's a flavour - elements might tickle the palette

Debut album - Debut Track A lighter offering: Hurry On Sundown

A classic extended work out off the In Search Of Space Album Masters of the Universe

But in my view the Hawkwind Experience is best expressed live - not shackled by 20 minutes per side and free to expand and allowed to yield to their more psych leanings.

Here's a more straight up Rock Fair (one of my fav's) Shot Down In The Night Opener to Live 79

Then there is Space Ritual which captures their early stage show - The whole thing's on You Tube??
Disc 1
Disc 2

It's a mix of tempo's and emotions - Opener is certainly an acquired taste, fast forward to get a full picture.

Later Hawkwind took an a more Fantasy based approach - I will never forget the Chronicle of the Black Sword tour - captured in Live Chronicles.
A tour de-force of live story telling mixing in songs new and old - This is a personal fav, but I'm probably too heavily influenced by the imagery that's stayed in my mind when listening.

Re. Albums
Studio: In Search Of Space
Live: Space Ritual and Live Chronicles

Cheers
Dave

Paul I bought this recently having seen only 1/2 million times

It was highly praised by Mike (the former owner of my local record shop as a psychedelic gem ) and while enjoyable, is not what what I think of when listening to a psych album. I don't know how it is in your area but here it comes up in the $8 to $10 range. So when I found a clean copy for $5 I grabbed it. So I guess what I'm saying it's worth it if you can find it for $6 or less. A very good LP but not a gem.............Bill

Hey Laura,

I need to

to Dave. I'm a new comer to Hawkwind, and I have not had the pleasure to experience Hawkwind live in person or vinyl as Dave has so again

and sadly I have gotten a hold of Studio: In Search Of Space yet.

However, I like their Studio lps: Hall Of The Mountain Grill & Warrior On The Edge Of Time and I may be going 'out on a limb' here yet they remind me of early Rush ( Fly By Night / Caress Of Steel) that maybe the Sci-Fi / mythology bent. Thanks my thoughts.

cheers,

Jim
