i went to the Tunnel club for Bob Calvert's family fund raiser shortly after he died, the Starfighters and Hawkwind were supposedly playing. now it may have been the drugs but i recall about 30 people there and by midnight no bugger had set foot on stage.
must have seen hawkwind or the starfighters 30 times in the 80s, fantastic bands.
I have the all of Calverts records (vinyl/cd) and his hype novel he wrote in 1981. I also have the hype LP autographed by bob himself. That's only s gist of my whole collection....
In my humble opinion, after his brightest period from '71 till '78,Calvert was a burnout, and sadly ejected too soon.His 80's stuff is simply not up to the "Lockheed" standards ☆ΞΞΞΞΞ✈ ▌
One of hawkwinds greatest side projects ( only ONE album by Bob calvert RIP You fantastic nutter you , you ARE MISSED :C) and ALWAYS played LOUD. I saw Hawkwind, Doc n the medics,etc LOADS OF TIMES , and really, even I got a bit hacked off with the same tunes at EVERY GIG n all, but THIS piece o' vinyle is a Master Class in witty/silly/poigniant/subtle/Crazy/militarism/arms biz/and swallowing industrial amounts of, er....MOOD ENHANCERS ;D ;C ;S :O ..geddit, he he
awesome

THis has been re-released as part of a Hawkwind Package and remastered but I prefer this original. I think its basically Hawkwind

@underwwraps2 You obviously got his project with the once brilliant Amon DüüL:"Die Lösung" from 1989.
Slighgtly disappointing stuff ,"Adranalin Rush" exempted.
