Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

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.

Renowned space rock band Hawkwind celebrate their 50th anniversary. Taking November 2019 to tour nationwide in celebration of both their legendary past and their recent triumphs, they played a host of their most successful songs to packed crowds each night. 50th Anniversary Live superbly captures for posterity, highlights from the anniversary year in a deluxe double CD release or triple gatefold vinyl. The set-list powers through highlights from Hawkwind’s illustrious canon, including Motorway City (Levitation, 1983), Spirit Of The Age (Quark, Strangeness and Charm, 1977), Hurry On Sundown (1970), Right To Decide (Electric Tepee, 1992), Assault and Battery and Golden Void (Warrior On The Edge Of Time, 1975), all sitting perfectly alongside powerful renditions of current classics such as Last Man On Earth, Flesh Fondue and 65 Million Years Ago from the band’s 2019 Top 40 studio album All Aboard The Skylark. Alongside the line-up of Dave Brock, Richard Chadwick, Magnus Martin, Niall Hone and Tim Blake is a guest appearances from Phil Campbell (Motörhead, The Bastard Sons) who joins the band for an electrifying performance of The Watcher (Doremi Faso Latido, 1972) and Silver Machine.
