Has anyone purchased a copy of the new DOREMI boxset? I'm curious about the sound quality of this amazing album in remastered form. Previous Greasy Truckers releases were muffled and tinny, was it fixed? Are the video's dubbed or with the original, live sound? VG

Greetings all! Hawkwind have been such a strong influence on my own journey through art and music and the early material particularly often offers an escape pod to the stars when this world tries to smother.. I wish I'd got along to some of those early gigs but thank the stars for youtube (though nothing can beat being there i know) There aren't many records you can put on that teach you something new every time you play them, but the stories that 'Doremi Fasol Latido', 'Space Ritual' and 'Warrior on the Edge of Time' tell certainly do. I'd like to get into the new material, where should i start? Looking forward to Bournemouth next April (2025) as we've booked an anti-matter slot to experience a gig in the 'There is no space for us' tour! I've just found this place so looking forward to having a pock about the place...

OK, this is starting to bug me, as I've just spent time online looking up, ostensibly, the longest-running continuously active rock bands. And not one of a dozen or more supposedly authoritative sources mentions Hawkwind. Not one. There ae plenty of mentions for the Stones, obviously, although it's also possible to argue they weren't "continuously active" for the period from 1983-88. You'll also find mention of the Beach Boys (who haven't made an original record since 2012, and just that one in 28 years). The Searchers get plenty of mentions, even though their last album was 1988 (!), while various sources also highlight The Who (virtually no output in the past 20 years) and even Deep Purple, both of whom disappeared for long periods. Both Genesis (at least 2 periods of stasis) and ZZ Top (no album since 2012) are also often listed. So what will it take for anyone to take a real, in-depth look at the question and decide that the ONLY continuously active band since 1969 is HW, and that Dave and Co. should be allowed to take this singular honour to their graves?
