how we got into hawkwind

[Tony Melius]

I've got an original Charisma vinyl copy of Quark - but it's the Australian
release, without an inner sleeve ... sorry, can't enlighten you further.

My first hearing of Hawkwind was back in '71 or '72 (I was 21 then) when,
after indulging in much drinking and smoking, a friend clapped a set of
headphones on me and said "listen to this!" After some interesting sounds
and music someone kept whispering into my head "you shouldn't do that, you
shouldn't do that!" - X In Search of Space. That was the start of a long
affair with HW. I got DB to sign on Stacia's figure on my copy of XISOS
(which I bought the day after I first heard it) when he was out here in
February ... now I'm really looking forward to their next visit to Oz!
