Hawkwind/Live '90 ....import double CD
This long awaited release includes some brilliant material from 1990. Not
only does this double CD contain the whole Nottingham 1990 show but also a
unique TV broadcast.   Hawkwind made the rare TV appearance on a music show
called "Bedrock". It was a strange affair, as although it was filmed live
the set was interrupted a few times for the Bedrock team to make
adjustments. Equally as strange, was that the lighting levels were unusually
high (for a Hawkwind concert at least), this was so that viewers had
something to watch, as the show was to be screened across all the ITV
regions. Hawkwind's screen projections, because of the high lighting levels,
had to be filmed the following day, and placed over the footage.  The show
was a real stormer. For the first time it was possible to see the band
clearly,  rather than shadowy figures on stage. Bridgett Wishart (Hippy
Slags) guested on vocals. Shortly after the TV event Simon House left the
band and Bridgett Wishart, who'd been guesting with the band for some
months, joined on a full-time basis.  Bridgett was the first female vocalist
for Hawkwind.  Packed with great pictures and sleeve notes full of anecdotes.

Tim Blake/Jerusalem ....import CD
Tim Blake has been a member of 'Gong', 'Crystal Machine' and Hawkwind as
well as having a successful solo career. He founded the Crystal Machine
studio in Paris and bought the seventh EMS synthesizer on the market and
modified it.  Tim joined Gong in 1972 and participated in the 'Flying
Teapot' recording and co-wrote other material before leaving the band in
1975. Pursuing his Crystal Machine project he staged shows in Paris which
gave him a lot of public exposure. Some of the material from these shows was
taped and formed the 'Crystal Machine' album first released in 1977 and
successfully reissued on the Blueprint label more recently. In 1978 Tim was
specifically interested in releasing an album of songs in order to express
himself. This became the album 'New Jerusalem' and he performed more vocals
than he normally did and was joined on keyboards by blind French musician
Jean-Philippe Rykiel.  In 1979 Tim joined Hawkwind and the band subsequently
played live versions of 'New Jerusalem' and 'Lighthouse', which proved very
popular with the latter appearing on 'Live '79' as well as the studio album
'Levitation' in 1980. Tim left Hawkwind shortly afterwards only to headline
Glastonbury in the early 80's, surrounded by banks of synthesizers and a
stunning light show. This had a profound influence on Jean Michel Jarre, who
developed these ideas onto a world stage.   Tim's third album 'Magick' was
released by Voiceprint followed by 'Tide Of The Century' much to the delight
of old and new fans alike. 'New Jerusalem' is being reissued due to popular
demand.
