This is your captain speaking

On January 28th 1970, Hawkwind (previously Hawkwind Zoo), managed by Doug Smith of Clearwater Productions, with line-up Dave Brock, Mick Slattery, Nik Turner, Terry Ollis, Dik Mik, and John A. Harrison signed to Liberty Records. Mick Slattery leaves soon after to be replaced by Huw Lloyd-Langton and the band record their first self-titled album at Trident Studios in London. From that point onwards, the period of 1970 – 1974 proved to be a busy time for Hawkwind.

The subsequent years see several line-up changes within the band, the rise to prominence of a certain Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, the ingenious ‘Space Ritual Tour’ and a peculiar ban from BBC recording sessions.

This new box set celebrates that period, including 5 studio albums, 2 live albums and a compilation disc of the band’s singles. Albums included are Hawkwind, Xin In Search Of Space, Greasy Truckers Party, Doremi Fasol Latido, The Space Ritual Alive, Hall Of The Mountain Grill, 1999 Party and Of Time & Stars – The Singles.

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING… YOUR CAPTAIN IS DEAD will be released worldwide on March 23rd 2015 through Parlophone Records Ltd, a Warner Music Group Company.
