Description

Artist: Hawkwind

Title: In Search of Space

Details: - Rare 1st Issue 1971 UK pressing (with continuous play out on the run out groove - aka Sgt Pepper) on quality vinyl  in the original `E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford` Fold out `Gimmix` sleeve with original 1st Issue `Rough Paper` Hawkwind space log book.  Fantastic copy that really will be hard to better - Matrix/run out groove: UAG 29202 A-1U / UAG 29202 B-1U - Mother Stampers: 1R/1R

Musically this album set the future tone for Hawkwind and is what most would refer to as their `Classic` album establishing their brand of `Space Rock` a hybrid of hard-rock and acid-rock and free improvisation. Formed in November 1969, Hawkwind have gone through many changes. This album is from their `golden period` and should not be missed!!!

For the sleeve the band had started working with a wider range of artists, many of whom were contributing to the underground press. Graphic artist Barney Bubbles titled the album and designed the cover and with space-age poet Robert Calvert produced the accompanying 24 page The Hawkwind Log with photos by Phil Franks.The front cover is a die-cut interlocking foldout. The inside panel features individual portraits of the band. Inside the foldout sleeve are various pictures of Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies playing together underneath the Westway in London.

Trivia: The band originally started to record the album at George Martin's AIR Studios, but after a week with little to show for their effort, and the studio engineers reported to be reluctant to work with the band after reports that friends of the band broke "into George Martin's drinks cabinet, pinched all his booze and spiked the drinks", the record company moved them to Olympic Studios to work with George Chkiantz in order to finish the recording quickly.
