COMMENT         : Atomhenge, the home of Hawkwind’s back catalogue, is proud to announce the release of a deluxe
50th anniversary edition of HAWKWIND’s legendary live album SPACE RITUAL. Recorded on the band’s UK
Tour of December 1972, which followed the release of the band’s recent studio album DOREMI FASOL LATIDO.
The live show was a continuous performance linked by poetry recitation by ROBERT CALVERT and was a
complete audio-visual experience. Featuring the dancers Stacia, Miss Renee and Tony Carrera, the concerts
also featured an elaborate light show by famed lighting designer Liquid Len.

The Space Ritual tour followed the huge success of the Silver Machine single (although the song did not
feature in the live set) and three concerts were captured on tape by the Pye Records mobile unit. The
resulting double album was adorned with memorable artwork by designer Barney Bubbles and was a Top Ten hit
in the UK upon its release in May 1973.

This 50th anniversary limited edition deluxe boxed set comprises 10 CDs and a Blu ray disc and features a
new remaster of the original album, along with new mixes of all three complete concerts recorded on the tour
at Liverpool Stadium, Sunderland Locarno and Brixton Sundown, all mixed by Stephen W Tayler. The set also
includes a stunning 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the album, along with a new stereo mix of the album, including
the complete unedited versions of Brainstorm and Time We Left This World Today and the encore of You Shouldn’t
Do That. The set is completed with a 68 page illustrated book with new essay and a reproduction of the rare
Space Ritual poster format tour programme, making this boxed set the definitive release and this legendary album.
