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.

In this album:
#NickTurner - saxophone, flute, vocals
#Lemmy (later Motörhead) – bass, vocals
#DikMik (Michael Davies) – audio generator, electronics
#DelDettmar – synthesizer
#SimonKing – drums
#RobertCalvert – poetry, vocals
Stacia - dancer and visual artist

📌January 1969

Sam Gopal
📀 Escalator
#AcidRock #PsychedelicRock

This year couldn't start better for me, as I discovered that 55 years ago Sam Gopal from London, #UK released their debut and only studio album.

The band was put up in 1966 and named after its founder, a Malaysian student and tabla player who moved to London.

Escalator was in fact written at the end of 1968, mainly by the newly entered member, a former roadie for Jimi Hendrix: he was called Ian Willis (after his mother's surname), later he chose to go back to his original name Ian Fraser Kilmister, who then became worldwide known as Lemmy🤘

Years later #Lemmy stated that after seeing #JimiHendrix, he concluded he should give up the guitar... so Escalator is the first album ever to feature Lemmy and his only one as vocalist and guitarist 🎸

In this album:
#SamGopal – tabla, percussion, drums
#IanWillis – vocals, guitar
#RogerDElia – guitar
#PhilDuke – bass

🎸❤️‍🔥 Ever been to Stoke-On-Trent, England?
I've been there twice back in the days, #Lemmy was still around playing Rock'n'Roll.
It's already 10 years he's no more with us and now there's a statue of him over there, unveiled yesterday in his birthplace🤘
