i have almost everything on there but might consider buying it for this - Listen7. Album Out-Takes: The Only Ones (Acoustic Demo)
the sonic assassins live tracks are great. calvert goes totally ott on the fittingly named 'over the top'.

i think the hawklords album is one of their most underrated
AGREEING WITH THIS, i got the atomhenge version and it is just outstanding. i've gotten a couple of the other calvert-era ones and they're all good (and underrated) but 25 years on is most successful at trying to bring hawkwind into the changing era.

sad to hear of the passing of Huw Lloyd Langton.

RIP. i've never gotten to those 80s albums he's on, but the first one is obviously killer.

one could probably live without them but "Levitation" is pretty good. He wrote the best track( imo) on it and the intro to "the 5th second of forever" that he wrote is lovely. it rather oddly got sampled on some hip hop record whose title now escaped me.

This 2 CD live collection called Hawkwind 77 FXXXXNG rawks. It is put together from various sources, but the sound quality is pretty good and it flows together.

The Hawklords are playing at the local biker pub on Sunday.
They're basically a Hawkwind tribute act that writes their own material - they have 3 ex-Hawkwind members, but nobody v notable - the bassist from 1978-1991, and the guitarist and bassist from 1995-2001. They have released 6 albums since they formed in 2008 apparently. Looking at setlists they play about half a set of 70s Hawkwind classics, a couple of Robert Calvert songs and the rest from their own stuff.
I'm not expecting this to be like going to the Roundhouse in 1972, but is it worth a tenner?

they played in glasgow recently and i was crazily excited when i saw the poster. not so excited when i did a bit more research. as it turned out i couldn't go but i think i would risk a tenner to check them out, albeit with low expectations.

finally got a 5.1 system sorted in my flat and listening to the surround mix of Warrior on the Edge of Time is transcendental
