Up for auction is this great fantastic classic album. It is complete with its original inner sleeve.
The quintessential Space rock album. Powerful,spacey ,epic-a must for any Spaceprog rock collector! "Warrior" finds Hawkwind at the absolute zenith of their creative trajectory,in complete control of the progressive rock genre they pioneered. Aside from capturing the band's Space rock formula at it's most fully evolved, the album also documents its strongest line-up of musicnauts ever. The album also showcases bandleader Brock's most lucid and evocative lyric work to date ( check out "Magnu" and the "Assault & Battery/ Golden Void" block-arguably the finest ten minutes in ALL of Space rock history ).Taken on whole ,the power, majesty and epic sweep of "Warrior" is the sonic equivalent of a Frank Frazetta painting....
Warrior on the Edge of Time is Hawkwind's fifth studio album. It reached number 13 on the UK album charts and was their third and last album to make the US Billboard chart, where it peaked at number 150. Many of the lyrics are by Michael Moorcock and the album is loosely based on the concept of Moorcock's Eternal Champion.
Having recruited a second drummer, Alan Powell, this album's line-up was short-lived. Soon after the album's release, bassist Lemmy was sacked and vocalist Robert Calvert rejoined by the end of the year.
Gatefold Sleeve: VG++. A great period Gimmix sleeve which folds out into a shield. Bordering on EX really. A few light creases near the opening. Light edgewear.
This is of course a matt sleeve and most have worn extensively. This is an above average copy with a beautiful EX++ inner gatefold.
Vinyl: VG++ . A lovely vinyl with only a few light sleeve hairlines . I have played this through all the way and I am glad to report that the audio is stunning throughout. Only light static at the start of each side , not intrusive and subsides quickly. Great progressive space rock by these pros, even at the time when experimentation was at an all time high! This just stood out over all the rest! Of course, NO skips, NO jumps, NO ticks.
Inner sleeve: VG+. Absolutely unmarked but has two small seamsplits. Rare to find this item still with the album.
LABELS: EX+
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00. These fees in England have gone up significantly last May. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
