Hawkwind - Sonic Assassins - Live 1977 (New Edition)
On 23rd December 1977 a unique concert took place at Queens Hall, Barnstaple that has justifiably earned a special place in the history of Hawkwind.
Billed on posters as being an appearance by Dave Brockās Sonic Assassins, the band featured Hawkwind
members Dave Brock and Robert Calvert, along with future members Harvey Bainbridge (bass), Martin
Griffin (drums) and keyboard player Paul Hayles.
Intended as a Brock and Calvert side project, the concert was recorded and featured early renditions of tracks such as āFreefallā and āDeath Trapā, along with a classic improvised piece later titled āOver The Topā which showed Robert Calvert at his improvisational lyrical best.
The performance would later be seen as sowing the seeds of the band Hawklords the following year and a future line-up of Hawkwind.
Three tracks from the concert would later be released in December 1981 as the EP āSonic Assassinsā.
Mixed from the original master tapes, this CD features all the surviving recordings from this remarkable concert.
