Live 1972
Recorded live by the BBC on 28th September 1972 at the famed Paris Theatre in London, this is the classic Space Ritual-era Hawkwind, featuring Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Lemmy Kilmister & Stacia Blake. This 11-track, hour long show of the stereo version features Hawkwind classics “Born To Go”, “Seven By Seven” & “Master of the Universe”. The release also includes two bonus tracks recorded for Johnny Walker’s BBC Radio 1 show the same year: “Brainstorm” & “Silver Machine.”
Live 1972/1974
Bassist Uli Trepte was one of the founders of the seminal space rock Krautrock group Guru Guru, and this CD, a reissue of a United Dairies LP with the track “Bo Diddley” added, combines material from Trepte‘s tenure with Guru Guru and some studio stuff done soon after he left the band. The two Guru Guru tracks were recorded live in 1972, and the performances on these long jams, capturing the group at their height, make up for the mediocre fidelity of the recordings.
This is the classic Guru Guru…
Live 1971 / 1973
Pink Fairies at their absolute best. Remarkable psych freaks make loud noise. Space rockers in some incredible form here, reaching for maybe the highest points in their recorded career. Although unsung by many, Pink Fairies are legendary to space rockers everywhere.
1980-1981 Fields Of Artifical Flowers
Psychotic works of L-R-D from 80 & 81. Noise bliss and sad feedback. Pivoting into a more rich toned psychosis of sound, these sessions have been lightly remastered lovingly by Polish engineer Kurzweil Holownia.
Uncle Meat
This the fifth, and final before the break up, album released by The Mothers of Invention. It was released through Bizarre/Reprise on April 21, 1969 as a double album. It was meant to be the soundtrack to a film, that was sadly never finished.
The album was recorded from October 1967 to February 1968, the exceptions being the CD bonus tracks. Made up of both live and studio material, Uncle Meat has been praised by critics for the diversity of its compositions, the virtuosity of its performances,…

Fusioon
