Knights Of Space - Hawkwind

Advantages: Original, influential
Disadvantages: Should have had more success

.... One for completists really. 2/5 In Search of Space (1971) is a more cohesive effort, more generically rock (if a Hawkwind album can be called generic), and possibly one of the first "space rock" albums ever made. 3/5 Doremi Fasol Latido (1972) continued this trend, with more accessible songs and some shorter pieces. 3/5 Space Ritual Alive (1973) was a grand double album which began to show the band's true potential. 4/5 Hall Of The Mountain Grill (1974) was by far their best effort yet, featuring classics such as "Psychadelic Warlords (Disappear in Smoke)" and "Paradox".

Advantages: Few extra minutes added to vinyl version
Disadvantages: DVD has no concert footage

.... There are a few notes about how the sales of "Silver Machine" (no 1 in UK and other European countries) allowed the band to stage Space Ritual in the first place. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a record of how good Hawkwind could be when they were all friends and their live shows were second to none. You will be disappointed if you want footage of the concert in question though. If you want those few extra minutes of the concert that fade out on the vinyl version then buy this. You can always use the DVD as a coaster! If you're happy to miss out on those extra minutes, then buy the remastered CD which is several pounds cheaper. Available from all good record shops (and a few bad ones) and all the usual online suppliers. The RRP (if there is still such a thing) is about £15.00, but you may be able to get it for less...
