The text you are reading in the Grollier originates from John Clute and Peter
Nichol's Encyclopeia of Science Fiction, they must've come up with a deal to
include
data from that in their encyclopedia.  However, this work, unlike a regular
reference work, is primarily a work of reviews and opinions.

The text in question was written by Maxim Jakubowski and Peter Nichols, only one
of several to write in the music entry.  None of the others even mention
Hawkwind
or BOC, focusing far more on classical music selections.  As for the other
musical groups listed, far more time is devoted to groups such as Van Der Graaf
Generator, David Bowie, Jefferson Airplane, and the Steve Miller Band.
