Deluxe 180 gram black virgin vinyl version (matte finish sleeve). Dirter Promotions presents on double vinyl a previously-unheard and unreleased live Hawkwind show from the Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1972. “Though the tapes were listened to in the weeks after the show, Lucas and Kemp upgraded their recording equipment to half-inch a few months later and the quarter-inch reels disappeared, thought perhaps to be lost forever. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. In 1985, a reel was unearthed at Spaceward Studios, noted to contain the Syd Barrett element of the show plus ‘parts of the Hawkwind and Pink Fairies sets,’ and in 2005 a second copy of the recordings was unearthed in a collection of tapes stored in Gary Lucas’ attic. It’s the Lucas tape, via an appearance on the auction lists at Bonhams in Knightsbridge, which has enabled the release of this pivotal show. Dirter Promotions is very pleased to present these recordings, cleaned-up and remastered, enabling Hawkwind’s dedicated fan base to experience the band in full flow, poised to fly high and fly far, making the very concept of space-rock their own in perpetuity.” –Ian Abrahams (taken from sleeve notes). Features “classic line-up” members Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Lemmy and Robert Calvert.
