Pioneers of the space-rock sound, Hawkwind are probably best known for the track "Silver Machine." Their regular sci-fi themes featured dystopian futures, a fascination that resulted in occasional collaborations with sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock. They regularly positioned themselves outside of the establishment. It was only in August of 1969 when Group-X as they were first called, had subjected an unsuspecting audience at the All Saints Hall in Ladbroke Grove to what was to become their trademark charged throbbing outburst. This special recording includes the band's first BBC session (circa 1970-71) and a live gig at Colchester Technical College in February 1971.
