It's probably obvious that the sound clips and
pictures on this site are not my copyright. This
of course belongs with the people who (in the
mists of time) wrote them, recorded them or took
them.
I've tried to avoid conflicts with material
that is still available though. The main point
of putting this material online is to share very
rare stuff that I've taken a long time to
collect and which has on the whole been
unavailable commercially for around two decades.
Please download and enjoy!
Steve Swindells and Michael Moorcock
have already given written permission (around
2000, when I first put this mini-site together)
for the clips from their "Fresh Blood" and "New
Worlds Fair" albums respectively. Bob
Calvert is of course, alas, dead, so I
can't ask him. The very occasional snippets of Hawkwind
tracks from official albums are deliberately
limited to very brief (typically 30 seconds or
so) excerpts and mainly feature drumming
highlights. Dave (Brock) and Kris from Hawkwind Mission Control
have linked to me since the very beginning of HW
Mission Control, directly as a source of audio
clips, so I take it they approve of what I've
done as well. Marion Lloyd Langton gave
me the cassette of Jawa for specific
digitisation and upload to the world. And Robbie
Milne has given his approval for all the
Opal Butterfly material... whew!
In no way do I want to prevent people
from going out and buying albums - the purpose
of this site is to share a little of the
pleasure I get from listening to Hawkwind (and
others), to inspire new fans and to encourage
readers to build up their own collection in an
informed way.
And with all that in mind, and purely as a
bonus, I do have some self-done re-mixes
of rare items that 'needed something doing to
them'. Hopefully none of the artists from half a
century ago will mind too much...
