The kings of Space Rock have been captured live in 1976 with this brilliant

the band are joined by legendary vocalist Bob Calvert. Hawkwind go through
their paces playing classics from that period which will be a must for all
those in their extensive fanbase.  Specially mastered for CD , a double
package which comes complete with a full colour reproduction of Hawkwind's
1976 tour program.  Hawkwind have a high profile, attracting a lot of press
attention especially with recent sell out concerts at Brixton Academy and at
the Astoria London.

Paradogs/Foul Play at the Earth Lab
Well known Hawkwind member Jerry Richards also performs as Paradogs with Alf
Hardy. All the tracks on this album were written and produced by the duo who
have carefully crafted their music to ensure that the listener enjoys a
brilliant album.   Due to the popularity of Hawkwind, and sell out London
concerts which also include Jerry Richards, Paradogs are enjoying a high
profile. The album will appeal to Hawkwind fans, and is long awaited by the
Paradogs own fanbase.  Paradogs are featured on a recent Hawkwind release
(Family Tree Hawkvp5cd),which will increase the already high interest in
this album.

Harry Williamson/Life in the World Unseen
Harry Williamson has worked with great talents over the years and this album
includes a good representation of these musicians. From Harry's earlier
years during the Mother Gong days there is Didier Malherbe, Guy Evans and
from later years Gilli Smyth, Rob Calvert, Rob George (Mother Gong) and
Conrad Henderson (Mother Gong). More recent projects have included Liz Van
Dort (Faraway) and Miles McNicholl and Harry's daughter Bee who also
contribute to this brilliant album.  Harry left Gong in 1993 and has pursued
his own musical career and this CD is a collection of previously unreleased
tracks which he has gathered together covering a 20 year span. The Highlands
suite for example captures the Australian landscape with its beauty in
desolation quite unlike the European experience. Tibetan instruments,
combined with a didgeridoo and angel guitar create a unique mood which is
developed by the haunting simple guitar melody.  This is by and large an
ambient carefully crafted and unusual CD, mainly instrumental and quite
unlike anything Harry has released before musically.. There is however a few
elements from the later Mother Gong recordings and from Tarka the album he
recorded with Anthony Phillips.

Lloyd-Langton Group/Night Air
Lloyd-Lang Group/Time, Space & LLG
Lloyd-Langton Group/Like An Arrow
Huw Lloyd Langton was a founder member and long standing lead guitarist with
the psychedelic rock band Hawkwind. He also worked with various bands and
musicians including Manfred Mann, Leo Sayer and Widowmaker.  Although Huw
formed his own band, The Lloyd Langton Group, he continued to perform with
Hawkwind. Hawkwind's reunion show at Brixton Academy included Huw in the
line up along with Lemmy, and he also played at the Hawkwind Christmas Party
at the Astoria London . He also performs solo concerts which attract good
reviews.  Huw continues to show his versatility as a rock based blues
guitarist who plays slow haunting melodies just as easily as complex fast
instrumentals.    Performing on all guitars and lead vocals Huw is joined on
this album by Kenny Wilson (bass), who has performed with 'Dusty', 'Speed
Limit' and Ronnie Jones. Drummer John Clark has worked with 'Pretty Things',
'Charlie Witney', and 'Ginger'. These albums have been remastered and
feature lovingly chosen artwork.
