    Holy cow, even if they sound like crap, that's a KILLER deal for someone who doesn't already have the collection!!

  3. Yeah, and that is some top shelf Hawkwind. All 3 live albums are killer.

  5. Thanks for the link -I just pre-ordered!
    I needed to get the 1999 party and Greasy Truckers and the sound should be no worse than my EMI remasters on the other disks so I though "why not".

    I'll wait for the reviews! I don't want to buy the set only to discover it's the same Peter Mew masterings as the 1996 versions. That said, this is a killer price for all this music.

    Yeah, I need those two as well and Greasy Truckers was more than this price the last time I looked. Quite a few good box set deals on Amazon.de due to the low euro value.

    Considering these are new remasters and Mew is now retired, these just may be alright. I'll most likely buy these.

  11. Lets hope they are an improvement over the EMI remasters from the mid 90s.

    My only gripe is that I've got previous editions of some of these that include bonus tracks, and these apparently don't. I wish they would include those too.

    Although I will be doubling up on about 70% of the material here from what I already have by them if I buy it, this set looks great as far as the musical contents within and various loose ends from my favorite era of this band that I don't have. I'm going to keep my eye on this and see what happens.

    Yeah, I noticed that as well. I'll wait to see the reviews on the remastering job itself before I splurge. Great set and fair price though.

    I really like Quark, Strangeness & Charm PXR-5. A Robert Calvert classics. I have all the original pressings of the early catalog and am satisfied with those. The late 1970's stuff is what I would like to see reissued.

    It's not missing too much from the 1997 remasters. Most of the tracks from (Disc 11) on this set make up 90% of the bonus tracks on the 1997 remasters. It's only missing the four bonus tracks from the first album, Calvert's "Ejection" single from the 1997 (Doremi...). The three bonus tracks missing from the 1997 Space Ritual are available on Space Ritual Vol. 2 and the Stasis UA Anthology collectively. The other tracks from the first album sans "Cymbaline" are available on other compilations.

    Seeing as Hawkind is my favorite band of all time how can i not buy it even though I have everything many times over. It'll be nice having nearly all the singles on one CD. I like to know why the left off Sonic Attack from the singles, it was released as a single although it was only a promo, and the one item i'm still missing from my collection.

    I'd extend that all the way through the 80s and Xenon Codex. I've never had a Live Chronicles that played correctly. Maybe we'll get another box set?

    Unfortunately, the rights to the Hawkwind catalog are all over the place.

    Interesting. Is the "Sonic Attack" promo single just an edit or a unique mix?

    Christ how many more versions of this piece of crap "song" do you need ?? Intersting to me that Greasy Truckers is included, is this the lp with the mighty Pink Fairies et al or the entire Hawkwind set ?
     
  23. All the post '74 albums have been reissued over the last few years on the Atomhenge and Cherry Red label. Remastered with lots of bonus material.
     
  24. The tracklist indicates only the Hawkwind set is included.
