HAWKWIND LIVE AT THE BBC 1972 DOUBLE LIVE ALBUM RSD 2010 NEW AND SEALED. Hawkwind At The BBC 1972 captures the band's classic lineup (minus the absent Bob Calvert) just after the surprise of the UK number three hit single in July with the classic "Silver Machine", and before their live experience Space Ritual which was recorded on tour later in the year. Whilst the bulk of this vinyl release is made up of the live set recorded for the BBC In Concert programme, it closes on side four with a previously unreleased session recorded for Johnnie Walker featuring a shortened version of the Doremi Fasol Latido album classic "Brainstorm" and a version of the then hit single"Silver Machine", featuring Lemmy on vocals.
The stereo version of this set has long been in the domain of the bootleggers as an off-air recording known as the "Broadcast" version. This mix was in fact distributed by the BBC for broadcast internationally and features an edited "Brainstorm", missing approximately 4 minutes from the front of the song, a shorter "Welcome To The Future" and "Electronic No.1" (not indexed on the previous Windsong CD release), but a longer"Countdown" introduction. Officially released for the first time,apart from being in stereo, the sound quality is superior to the mono version and the mix is generally more exciting.
Whilstthe CD racks and on-line listings are full of unofficial and poor Hawkwind live recordings, this set is a prime chunk of space rock from the band at the peak of their powers and is an essential addition to the band's huge discography.
