Cherry Red label managed by Esoteric Recordings and established in 2008 as the home of the recorded work of the [a69719] between 1976-1997 and of solo projects by various band members, reissuing remastered versions of previously out-of-print releases from that time, many including bonus material.

Formed in 1969, Hawkwind are a prolific and pioneering space-rock group from the UK. Known for their science fiction themed music and theatrical concerts, they gained fame for their exhibitions of pulsing electronics, dazzling light shows, and LSD consumption. Founder member Dave Brock has been the sole mainstay of the band since its inception, steering them through various musical genres including heavy metal, new wave, ambient and techno. Notable contributors have included Lemmy (of Motörhead), Ginger Baker (of Cream) and science fiction writer Michael Moorcock.
Hawkwind quickly made a name for themselves on the free festival circuit after forming in 1969. They would perform live without fee wherever possible.
Their 1971 album 'In Search of Space' solidified Hawkwind's reputation as pioneers of space-rock music. The album showcased their unique blend of science fiction themes with psychedelic rock sounds.

Definitive 2CD reissue edition of the classic album Palace Springs. The album, originally released in 1991 by GWR Records, was the final Hawkwind release to feature both Bridget Wishart and Harvey Bainbridge in the band, alongside a line-up of Dave Brock, Alan Davey and Richard Chadwick. Actually recorded in 1989 and 1990, the album comprised studio recordings that also featured Simon House on violin and live recordings made at the Palace Theatre in Los Angeles. Featuring fine renditions of classics such as ‘Time We Left (This World Today)’, ‘Damnation Alley’, ‘Lives of Great Men’” (also known as ‘Assault and Battery’) along with the excellent ‘Treadmill’, the album remains a fondly regarded Hawkwind album.

This Deluxe Atomhenge edition has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and adds two previously unreleased tracks from the 1989 recording sessions (‘The Damage of Life’ and a studio medley version of ‘Treadmill’ / ‘Time We Left (This World Today)’ on disc one, whilst disc two features the band’s concert at the Omni in Oakland, California in December 1990. Features a booklet with an informative essay, photographs and restored artwork.
