Cherry Red label managed by Esoteric Recordings and established in 2008 as the home of the recorded work of the [a69719] between 1976-1997 and of solo projects by various band members, reissuing remastered versions of previously out-of-print releases from that time, many including bonus material.

Formed in 1969, Hawkwind are a prolific and pioneering space-rock group from the UK. Known for their science fiction themed music and theatrical concerts, they gained fame for their exhibitions of pulsing electronics, dazzling light shows, and LSD consumption. Founder member Dave Brock has been the sole mainstay of the band since its inception, steering them through various musical genres including heavy metal, new wave, ambient and techno. Notable contributors have included Lemmy (of Motörhead), Ginger Baker (of Cream) and science fiction writer Michael Moorcock.
Hawkwind quickly made a name for themselves on the free festival circuit after forming in 1969. They would perform live without fee wherever possible.
Their 1971 album 'In Search of Space' solidified Hawkwind's reputation as pioneers of space-rock music. The album showcased their unique blend of science fiction themes with psychedelic rock sounds.

The album, originally recorded in 1977 – 1978 and released in 1979, was the band’s final masterpiece for Charisma records that perfectly embraced the influence of the musical New Wave to deliver one of the most effective albums released during Calvert’s tenure with Hawkwind. This expanded edition features eight bonus tracks, including the classic We Like to Be Frightened. Also features such fabled tracks as Robot, High Rise, Jack of Shadows, Death Trap and PXR 5. This reissue has been remastered from the original master tapes.
