how we got into hawkwind

[William Duffy]

I can't quite remember when it was, but it was around the time the Roadhawks
LP was released in Australia? I had been listening to other music, such as
Deep Purple, Tangerine Dream & Pink Floyd around this time, & wanted to hear
some more music about SF which used a mixture of electronic music & hard
rock.
Then, late one night, on a radio station, they played a live track recorded
in Glasgow by a band called Hawkwind, and that was it. The next day I bought
Roadhawks & Space Ritual, then a few days later Warrior on the Edge of Time.

The only opportunity I have had to see them was when I was in the UK in May,
1989.
