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 double album, originally released in 1986, was a recorded document of the band’s “Chronicle of the Black Sword” stage show of 1985, based on the Elric series of novels by Michael Moorcock. The original CD release omitted Moorcock’s onstage narration and contribution. This newly remastered edition features the entire stage show and restores Moorcock’s narrative on CD, making a definitive edition of one of Hawkwind’s most memorable works.
