Hawkwind
📀 Space Ritual
#SpaceRock #AcidRock #HardRock #PsychedelicRock
50 years ago Hawkwind from London, #UK released their 1st live album.
Recorded in Liverpool and London in December 1972, Space Ritual, as the title suggests, is the perfect description of what #Hawkwind live performances were: rock, psychedelic and visual rituals!
This album was also a great commercial success for the band, peaking UK charts at n.9 and entering US charts for their first time and is widely regarded as the true symbol of the genre called Space Rock!
Space Ritual is also considered one of the all time best live albums.

#NickTurner - saxophone, flute, vocals
#Lemmy (later Motörhead) – bass, vocals
#DikMik (Michael Davies) – audio generator, electronics
#DelDettmar – synthesizer

📌Late 1969
High Tide
📀 Sea Shanties
#HardRock #PsychedelicRock #HeavyMetal
55 years ago, some say in September, some in October, some in December, High Tide from Northampton, England, #UK released their debut studio album.
At the time #HighTide were poorly considered, if not ignored. In retrospect Sea Shanties is regarded as one of the earliest Heavy Metal albums🤘
The violin of Simon House (later #Hawkwind) omnipresent throughout the album, surprisingly contributes to deliever a heavier sound!
This is often labeled as #ProtoMetal, #ProtoProg, Proto whatever, to me it's always been like The Doors met Black Sabbath!
The instrumental "Death Warmed Up" is one of the most mind blowing pieces I've head ❤️🔥
In this album:
#RogerHadden - drums
#TonyHill - guitars, vocals
#PeterPavli - bass
#SimonHouse - violin, organ
