Description
π Hawkwind β Hawkwind
UK Liberty Pressing β’ SLS 1972921 β’ Early -1/-1 Matrix A vivid and highly collectible UK copy of Hawkwindβs explosive early space-rock statement β full of atmosphere, movement and underground energy.π Why this copy is special
Early Hawkwind records have a loyal following for a reason. This is where the bandβs raw cosmic identity was still taking shape β hypnotic repetition, proto-space rock atmosphere, underground tension and that unmistakable British freak-psych edge. Collectors search for these because they represent the foundation of the Hawkwind story, long before the band became a legendary name in the genre.
Ordinary listeners are drawn to it too, because this album still feels alive and adventurous. It is not polished or safe β it is immersive, strange, and genuinely transportive. The artwork alone is iconic, but the real pull is that feeling of early 70s experimentation captured on a proper UK copy.
We also checked the matrix / runout carefully from the photos. This copy shows SLS 1972921 A-1-1 and SLS 1972921 B-1-1, with an additional hand-etched Penthouse mark in the dead wax. That is an important collector detail and supports this being an early UK pressing. I would describe it as a desirable early copy rather than making exaggerated claims β but yes, the matrix is definitely a point in its favour.
