Hi, folks!

For those interested, below is the complete press blurb from Voiceprint
regarding Dawn of Hawkwind including the complete track listing:

Artist: Hawkwind
Title: Dawn of Hawkwind
Cat No: BP309CD
Label: Blueprint

Hawkwind were formed from the ashes of the Hawkwind musicians collective in
West London in 1969, with their self titled debut album released in 1970 on
Liberty Records.  Their main songwriter Dave Brock (vocals, guitars,
keyboards) has assembled this collection of studio and live recordings,
which cover the years 1966 to the early 70's.  There are three different
acts featured on this release: The Dharma Blues Band, Hawkwind Zoo and Dave
Brock solo.  All tracks are sequenced in chronological order and are
previously unreleased or alternative versions.  The first 1, 000 copies will
come with a 32 page A5 booklet,  which will feature previously unseen
photographs and reproductions from contemporary Hawkwind tour programmes.
This Hawkwind scrapbook has been assembled by Dave Brock and will ensure
that the initial pressings become desirable collector's items.

Track Listing:

1.  Come On
2.  My Baby's Gone
3.  Dealing With The Devil
4.  Roll Em Pete
5.  Bring It On Home
6.  Illusions

Key Sales Points

1.  The band are approaching their thirtieth anniversary and due to constant
recording and touring have retained a very loyal fanbase.  This release
features many unreleased and alternative versions,including Hawkwind
favourites Hurry On Sundown and Master Of The Universe.
2.  First 1,000 come with a 32 page A5 booklet, an authorised Hawkwind
scrapbook.
3.  Press mailout by Frontline to key magazines and fanzines.


I've now got this posted up on my Voiceprint page
<http://www.artist-shop.com/voiceprt> with a graphic of the booklet and a
soundbite from my favorite track from the CD, the cover of Pink Floyd's
Cymballine.
