Product Details

Robert Calvert occupied a singular space in British rock, the poet-provocateur whose science fiction lyrics and theatrical intensity helped define Hawkwind's most adventurous years. These home recordings catch him working through ideas in private, without a band or budget to shape the vision, just the restless intelligence that made albums like *Lucky Leif and the Longships* so genuinely strange. At 100 copies, this is collector territory for anyone serious about the weirder edges of the UK space rock lineage.

A thrilling compilation of the legendary early-mid 1980s demo tapes from reclusive creative genius and former Hawkwind member Robert Calvert!

• These tracks offer a fascinating insight into Calvert's exploration of electronic music, and a glimpse, too, into what would have become his next album had he not passed away in 1988!

• Also includes early incarnations of songs that would later appear on Calvert's solo albums Freq and Test-Tube Conceived!

• Limited edition - only 100 copies printed - and all of them hand-numbered!
