Description
Who knew Hawkwind recorded a session for Top Gear?! Not Clarkson’s woke-baiting carfest, of course, but rather the BBC Radio show that aired between 1964 and 1975. Their renditions of Hurry On Sundow, faster and disticntly more wired than the album version, a wonderfully proto punk-meets-Krautrock kicking of Seeing It As You Really Are and a raw, Hendrix-like version of Some Of That Stuff (later re-named Come Home) for the programme form side one of this six track LP. Side two catches the Ladbroke Grove space squatters straight after The Isle of Wight Festival – where they famously played in an inflatable tent outside the main site – for the Sundasy Concert series. It sounds like they’ve not been to bed yet and rolled straight through, Paranoia and Seeing It As You Really Are sounding like early Floyd on a pile of powerful amphetamine. A grinding, chugging I Do It closes proceedings, which later became the ‘Wind anthem Master of The Univese. Top drawer psychedlic garage chaos from the kings of the game.
