Album Cover
Hawkwind
X In Search Of Space

Album UK 1971 on United Artists Records label
Rock (Space Rock, Prog Rock, Hard Rock)

UK 1st press (A1U/B1U & A1U/B2U). Subsequent pressings (A1U/B4U & A2U/B4U), have a different label layout, please see X In Search Of Space. This release has an innovative 8-page, 3-fold die-cut heavy card sleeve. Opened out, it forms a 'T' shape. This shape is printed black & white on inside and full-color on reverse. When the lower page is folded up (to contain the liner) the sleeve then takes the form of a 6-page triptych - with the die-cut tab & slot linking together at the center. When locked 'closed' the liner/vinyl can still be inserted via the top opening. The back cover has a blurred shot of Stacia dancing on-stage, with text that encapsulates the essence of the work: "Technicians of Space Ship Earth This is Your Captain Speaking Your Captain is Dead" "Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford". [The inside spread photos include members of The Pink Fairies]. The package also contains an A4, 24-page 'Log Book', packed with the minutiae of the band's 'flight' through space & time. This 'Log' is printed black on white 'newspaper-quality' paper. Produced at Olympic Studios, Barnes. Track B2 first recorded at Air Studios. Ⓟ 1971 Manufactured in England - A product of Liberty-United Artists Records Ltd. Publishing info: A1 to B3 - United Artists B4 - Blue Mountain Music (Note: There are probably many issues of this which have lost the log book, or original UA imprinted liner)
