Roadhawks was mixed by Dave Brock to be a seamless listening experience - but inevitably, the cassette and 8-track versions of the album put paid to that. The cassette changes the running order, while the 8-track slices everything up...

In Germany, Roadhawks was re-released in 1980 as part of EMI Electrola's 'Masterpiece' series in a deeply unpleasant sleeve.

Repeat Performance


In Australia, Charisma's Repeat Performance compilation was issued as part of the 'Rock Legends' series in a slightly more palatable sleeve.

Days Of The Underground is a decade-long trip through the music of Hawkwind. It explores the ideas that fuelled the band during their classic 1970s period and speaks to the crew that manned the ship.
