CAPTAIN LOCKHEED & THESTARFIGHTERS (ROBERT CALVERT) Ejection UA 45 pic sleeve in NM/VG+ condition

Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters is a 1974 satirical concept album by Robert Calvert, the former front man of British space-rock band Hawkwind. It consists of a mixture of songs and comic spoken interludes. The concept was based on the German Air Ministry's purchase of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter,which was eventually nicknamed Widowmaker by Luftwaffe pilots. In German service these planes had a poor safety record, with 262 out of 916 Luftwaffe Starfighters lost in accidents during the aircraft's time in service, which lasted from the early 1960s until the mid-1980s.

Musicians who appeared on the album include members of Hawkwind, The Pink Fairies, Brian Eno (although not credited as Eno), Arthur Brown and Adrian Wagner. The spoken sketches are primarily performed by Calvert, Viv Stanshall and Jim Capaldi. "Ejection" (coupled with "Catch a Falling Starfighter") was released as a single from the album, although both songs are slightly different versions to those on the album.

Media condition on visual inspection is: Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+). The very groovy picture sleeve has slight ring wear and slight creasing at entrance.
