Just found this website. 50 years old
this year, my god. Totally conventional
middle-class suburban executive
lifestyle. And I dont mind that at all.
... but I have all my old Hawkwind
vinyls, and still dig them out from time
to time. Mk 1 "In Search of Space",
complete with The Log, still going strong
after all this time. First edition
Hawkwind, too, which must have been in
the record shop for a few years before I
bought it. All the old peripheral stuff,
too "Captain Lockheed", and "Greasy
Truckers Party" (which I dont see in the
discography).
Well remember travelling round the
country in my old beat-up VW Beetle to
track them down. Was there by chance at
the recording of "Space Ritual" in the
old Liverpool Stadium, now gone, in 1973.
Can remember taking girlfriends to the
gigs who didn't quite understand what was
going on. Recall the band came through
Edinburgh, where I was at Uni, about once
a year in the mid-1970s ... all long ago
and far away. Am I still into them? You
bet!
