For all you Hawkwind fans the Collectors Edition of Space Ritual has just been released- Expanded and with DVD content.
Originally conceived as a space rock opera this very special edition 3 disc set contains the original album with some extended tracks (they were originally edited due to the vinyl restrictions) and 3 tracks ("Brainstorm","Welcome To The Future",and "You Shouldn't Do That") that are previously unreleased in their full length versions.If that's not enough the second disc also includes bonus material in the shape of "Orgone Accumulator","Time We Left" and a second version of "You Shouldn't Do That".The 3rd disc is a DVD DTS, PAL surround sound audio disc (two sound options - you can either play in stereo or 5.1 surround.) with a visualizer playing on the screen to the music and also includes the " Silver Machine" and "Urban Guerilla" original promo films.
Packaging is a close facsimile to original other than does not fold out, disc are replicas of the vinyl labels. Interesting sleeve notes including details of how Barney Bubbles had designed stage and equipment for each person-all to do with the "music of the spheres"!!!
Only shame is the tour handout is not included-had story by Michael Moorcock and lyrics.
Happy listening-already given my copy a good play-nice and loud. Brought back the memories of that tour- saw it 3 times!!
