Dave Brock and Robert Calvert's writing partnership produced a series of classic albums in 'Quark, Strangeness And Charm', 'Hawklords - 25 Years On' and 'PXR 5' and their live performances (with Calvert as an able frontman) became legendary.The period between February 1977 and June 1979 saw the recording and release of this trio of classic albums, which saw Hawkwind adapt to the changing musical times and adopt a 'new wave' approach both on record and on stage.This boxed set features stunning new 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo remixes of these albums by Steven Wilson and also includes a host of rare studio out-takes from the time. Significantly, the set gathers together new mixes of all the surviving live recordings made on the band's September 1977 tour, the Sonic Assassins concert in December 1977 and a Hawklords' concert from November 1978. Newly mixed from the original multi-track tapes, these performances feature many previously unreleased tracks.
