> ====================

> Space Ritual            1972
Black and White large folded sheet with a Hawklords in Space story
inside and song lyrics along with some photos.

> Winter 1974-1975        1974
Red Indian Chief picture on the cover and Michael Moorcock's story
about Jimi Hendrix in the afterlife.   There's a large fold out poster
in the middle section with embarassed looking photos of the band and
pics of the (then) available albums.

> Astounding Tour 1976
The album cover forms the cover with the aggressive 3rd Reich-looking
eagle dominating the front.   Mostly band photos inside with interviews
with a couple of band members and a brief review by Mick Farren for NME.
There's a pencil sketch of the Atomhenge set too

> Quark Tour              1977
The album cover forms the front cover.  Inside are very brief bio-pics
of the band, a large centre spread of the band on stage, four poems
from Calvert (including Circle Line) but not much else.

> Hawklords Tour  1978
A brief history of Pan Transcendental Industries Inc. "Reality you
can rely on" - Calvert's wierd art-image production.   A small but
perfect piece of much strangenss.

> Winter 1979             1979
Garish.  Brock explains away the problems of that period.   Brief
personal histories from Tim Blake, Harvey B, Lloyd L., and Simon King

> Levitation Tour         1980
Album cover on the front.   Inside is mostly lyrics and super-swish
quality publicity photos of band members.    Ginger Baker also gets
a brief personal biography.

> Glastonbury             1981
don't have this one!

> Sonic Attac Tour        1981
wierd one.   A BIG programme with Sonic Attack logo on the outside
front and Church of Hawkwind logo on the back.   Inside is mostly
colourful advertising with some fuzzy band photos but there are a
couple of garishly intense pieces of fantazy artwork and the Earth
Visitors Passport form to be completed before departure of Starship
Hawkwind.

> Monemore Festival       1982
nope

> Choose Your M Tour      1982
Lovely cover of the Choose your Masques album - almost my favourite.
Garish colours inside creating not a lot of anything!  There are a
couple of Calvert lyrics - some fuzzy band photos - an explanation of
the Einstein-Rosen wormhole effect and another Earth Visitors Passport.
A BIG programme

> Monsters Of Rock        1982
dunno

> Earth Ritual Tour       1984
Anoth BIG programme - very colourful front cover - primitive artwork but
glorious imagery.   Mostly lyrics and advertising inside with colourful
band member pics and graph paper has been used as a backdrop -
effective!  The advert for the Pic Disc version of the 1st Hawkwind
album is absolute genius with a sketch of the average Hawkwind follower.

> Live Chronicles Tour    1985
Chronicle of the Black Sword.   Excellently drawn fantasy artwork by
some very good artists indeed.   A couple of group photos.

> Reading Festival        1986
nope

> Mad Docs Lab Tour       1988
The Hawkwind 1988 tour - Agents of Chaos.   Colourful front cover with
eye in the Triangle on a pyramid stuff.  Inside are some lyrics,
handwritten notes from the bandmembers - photos of the band as 2-3 year
olds!  Also a fold out board game in the center bit of the band on tour.

> Langtree Festival       1996
Small white paper programme with purple printing.   Hookah smoking Alien
on the front and daily timetable and site map inside.

that's all folks
