Hawkwind - The Dream Of Isis (1977)

You don't normally think of Hawkwind as a singles band, but they did release quite a few during the early days of their career, and not all of the songs came from their then current albums. 'Silver Machine' is their most famous song, and a surprise hit single for the band, and buoyed by that success they managed to repeat it the following year with 'Urban Guerrilla'. They also tended to record more songs than were needed for their albums, and so bonus tracks have been sneaking out on the remastered albums for a while now. This album of singles, plus another one of unreleased songs which I'll post later, attempt to collect them all together in one easy to access place so that we can relive those heady days of early 70's space-rock from one of the pioneering bands of the genre.
